We should probably support the Venezuelan neighbors to form a coalition, and then get one of those CIA operated airlines to start night airdropping and funneling AKs, and Russian ammo to the people. Ukraine, and the ex-Soviet Baltics, and Poland still probably have warehouses of old Warsaw Pact firearms and ammo. We just need to get it in the hands of the people, as well as food which we can do on a humanitarian open basis.
