*** directed by an illegitimate ruler, condemned by all but 5 nations in the world including the pope. This is actually a crime against humanity by Maduro. ***

5 Nations? The African Union has 55 member states. With the exception of one, Morocco, they signed a letter to the UN in support of Maduro.

You need to catch up on the details of this situation. The aid has been sitting on the border for weeks, people are dying if starvation and the military is illegitimate, directed by an illegitimate ruler, condemned by all but 5 nations in the world including the pope. This is actually a crime against humanity by Maduro.

I agree with all of that. I said two things: 1) I wondered if the atrocity occurred on Venezuelan or Brazilian soil. A cross-border action has certain international implications that an in-country repression doesn't. And, 2) These were brave people, in an impossible situation.

If you think I was saying something different, please re-read and we can chat further.

We need to air-drop millions of these (.45 Liberator) over Venezuela. And throw in a hundred thousand of these low-cost beauties (M3 submachine).

At one point Hugo received 100K AK-47’s from Russia or Cuba. His intention was to distribute the weaps to his Bolivarian militia, a separate entity from the army. No idea if he followed through.
