Having suppressed all dissent, Venezuela's ruling Chavistas aren't very cognizant of how they look to others.
So when Venezuela's dictator, Nicolas Maduro, posted this video of his militias training up hard with their Russia-made weapons for the invasion of the yanqui imperialistas, his video was seen by millions, including President Trump, but probably didn't draw the reaction he expected. Trump actually did a re-tweet with this response:
OMG President Trump just posted this on Truth Social. 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/FdbCtdP3SF

I can't post the original Maduro video tweet on X, which is above, because the dictator blocked me.
TOP SECRET: We caught the Venezuelan Militia in training. A very serious threat!

But it's pretty much what you would expect from Maduro. For years, Chavistas have insisted that their militias will roll back any invasion from the Americans. They "train" their slum dwellers in red tshirts and in turn promise them bags of beans and other emoluments.
At this late date, this was apparently all they could find.
The wiry military-aged men of old have all left for the U.S. to take up lives as illegal aliens, some of them as Tren de Aragua gang members, others running drug boats through the Caribbean. You won't see any buffoons like those in the videos of the migrants here in the states -- most had to be fit enough to cross the Darien Gap on foot, for one thing, and these characters obviously aren't.
A month earlier, Maduro posted this video, stating the obvious at least among the politically connected -- that they don't have hunger in Venezuela:

At least they aren’t starving!
I bet North Korea is envious. They can only dream of an army of covered troops.
“Overfed “. Not covered.
I wonder if they had to fill out form 4473, and pay the $200 tax stamp for those full AK-47’s? Their tax dollars go towards arming them with full auto weapons apparently…
/s (obviously)
At least we know that Venezuela has at least ONE Tank.
Hippo Brigade to the rescue!
Must be a McDonalds every 20 yards!
Venezuela? We could take them out in 5 minutes.
Could be an epic poem.
The Charge of the Hungry Hippos.
Thety declared war on us and nobody noticed lol
Editing is dead.
L
CAN A STANDARD TOILET HOLD THAT HIPPO???
Grand Fenwick has a better chance.
Is that Mike Epps at the bottom of the screen in the green camo watching them?
Walruses with rifles on the only obstacle course they could ever negotiate- flat ground….😖
All he has to do is sit on criminals…..LOL
Venezuela’s real secret weapon is they drop fat pigs like that here, they get on welfare, birth 20 more hippos, half of which join gangs and the other half just go on welfare.
