Libs would first have to understand that ‘dictator’ is a nonsense term and that they’re being lied to about Maduro, but any visit to reddit indicates it’ll never happen (and I don’t recommend visiting reddit; it hurts my brain reading the nonsense they spout over there, let alone the unabashed racism)
After the collapse of the USSR, Ukraine inherited significant stocks of Soviet weaponry, and Ukrainian military personnel were trained to operate this equipment.
Regarding the transition to NATO standards, this process requires time and resources. Mastering new weapon systems, changing supply chains, and adapting tactics are complex challenges for any army. Many countries transitioning to the Alliance’s standards face similar challenges.
The Russian defense industry continues to produce equipment compatible with Soviet standards, which creates certain difficulties in the current conditions.
Also, not being able to buy cheap and effective Chinese dual usage drones to not offend the USA is a huge limit.
I think if the libs had a frame of comparison, it’d be like that time Ukraine gave off weapons to civvies during such conflict.
Albeit, unlike Ukraine, hopefully this time, the Venezuelan gov’t gave their people gun training and discipline.
