Venezuelan President's Obammy-Drone Dissuasion Policy, but he forgot one thing...

50% inflation rate and they want to place SAM missiles in the barrios to ward off "Imperialist invaders".

They're like a *parody* of an absurdly comical Latin America left wing incompetentocracy.

Only thing missing is El Presidente for life in a green Maoist revolucionary uniform surrounded by pineapple-faced eleventeen-star generals, forcing the peons (and farm animals) to stand at attention for a nine-hour long patriotic harangue.

They say they're doing it to defend themselves from Imperialists.
