Back in the days of NYT AtWar, @lkatzenberg.bsky.social and I published a story in 2019 that pointed to the arming of civilian planes for covert airstrikes as an inevitable state of affairs. There are far more civilian aircraft carrying CLT now than there were then www.nytimes.com/2019/03/27/m...

We believe GALILEO (9256860) is attempting to defy the U.S. naval blockade on Venezuela. Now that it's flying a Russian flag, it raises risk of tensions similar to the MARINERA situation. Archival photo by Nikos Palamaris via MarineTraffic. bsky.app/profile/trbr...
