I was listening to people calling in to an evangelical Christian radio program last night (on WWCR out of Nashville). They were discussing Venezuela and we’re all excited about how China and Russia are supposedly shipping all kinds of weapons, missiles and WMDs into Venezuela. This is apparently yet another bullshit narrative that is metastasizing in the ass-end of our shithole country, to manufacture consent for invading. I’ve not heard this mentioned in any of the more mainstream media propaganda outlets, but I’m sure it will be there soon.

Even if they did, if buying weapons from Russia or China was a crime worth of invasion, the US would need to Invade India and Turkey for example.
