Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro wants to install anti-aircraft weapons systems in hillside slums ringing Caracas to dissuade imperialist foreign powers from attacking the South American nation.
The president says arming civilians and putting state-of-the-art artillery in densely-populated neighborhoods is an integral part of an ongoing defense buildup.

Wow, our inner city slums are actually like missiles pointed directly at the functional class.
Kinda the same but different.

Holding his own people hostage. Why not put them on hospital and school roofs too?

The greatest threat to Venezuela’s ruling class is the Invisible Hand, which is immune to anti-aircraft missiles.

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.
To: Olog-hai
Maybe they could pay Detroit to put them there?
They sure could use the money.

They
say they're doing it to defend themselves from Imperialists.
They're really doing it so we don't forget they exist.
