Well said and true. The rumor mongering of fascism is also a bipartisan effort in most locales.

Any US junior high homeschooler has built three drones and assembled AK’s. Dead man talking: Hugo.

Is there a shortage of AK’s? Who is he going to use the drones against? Guyana? Maybe Trinidad and Tobago?

“his government has begun to assemble Kalashnikov assault rifles”

Now that certainly requires a high degree of technological prowess.
Next: His government begins inside-the-barn marksmanship training.

“Hogo” would not attack Colombia because he knows they would kick his butt in very short order. If he tries to make a land grab it will be against Guyana and an oil find project at 15+ billion barrels. Any attack would happen before the October elections to try and distract people from their everyday struggles to survive under the Dictator.

Guyana and Venezuela are not all that friendly!
