"You will not be able to stay home, blogger. You will not be able to dial up, log in and cop out. You will not be able to watch the revolution unfold on your RSS feed because the revolution will not be tweeted. The revolution will not be tweeted; the revolution will not cost ninety-nine cents from iTunes; the revolution will not appear on Fark, Digg, Reddit or Metafilter, nor be brought to you by Randall Munroe, Ben Croshaw, Jack Thompson, Ron Paul or Stephen Colbert. The revolution will not be tagged "nsfw" or locked for editing by newly-registered users due to persistent vandalism."

US Berder Patrol posted:That is an uh interesting opsec strategy The Merc company tweeted it at Trump as they launched the attack. Honestly they seemed to have a staggering contempt for the Venezuelan government and assumed they didn't know how to access the AP wire or how Twitter works. Also they seemed to feel that just showing up would touch off a wave of popular revolution that would destroy the government in days. Everything about this was so staggeringly stupid that it's amazing. I suspect we're gonna find much more WTF from these idiots soon.

Deffo has the vibe of some dudes who legit buy into American exceptionalism and homegrown propaganda. As far as I've seen, Silvercorp started as a group of undercover counterterror operators to be planted in schools as teachers for a $10/mo per parent subscription fee which is already so  / e. was that a legit airsoft rifle, or just one with a painted tip in a quarter-assed attempt of plausible deniability? Airsoft mags have a slightly different profile (not that you can conclusively measure it with the crappy resolution photo) but won't fit in an AR magwell. Nothing is beyond possible anymore but I imagine one of the gun-fuckers would have noticed mags don't fit while bombing up. Guest2553 fucked around with this message at 18:04 on May 6, 2020 |

Yeah, we're not even scratching the surface of stupid those guys hit. They got asked about what happens during a school shooting if they shoot a member of law enforcement. Their reply was it was acceptable collateral damage. That didn't make them a lot of friends.

There was no running water and men were sleeping on the floors, skipping meals and training with sawed-off broomsticks in place of assault rifles. Five Belgian shepherds trained to sniff out explosives were as poorly fed as their handlers and had to be given away.” http://www.wboc.com/story/42080529/ex-green-beret-led-failed-attempt-to-oust-venezuelas-maduro

So a couple things about that gear in the pictures. A fellow gear nerd (xthetenth) and I were looking over what they had. First, those plate carriers are almost definitely extremely cheap airsoft stuff. Combined with the lower face masks and the fact that a later smuggler was arrested with more equipment on its way that only had three Crye PCs, I wouldn't be surprised if these guys were going in with basically $20 Evike poo poo. Second, those "stocks" on the AR-15s look like they're actually pistol braces of the kind used to skirt the NFA. These guys were making sure their rifles were civilian legal in the United States for doing a coup as mercenaries.

Since I know non-military/non-gun owner people enjoy reading this thread, I'll point out that this is especially funny because it takes like 10 seconds to turn a couple of Completely Legal gun parts (an upper receiver with a short barrel and a lower receiver with a full shoulder stock) into a Completely Illegal Unregistered Short Barreled Rifle if you really wanted to. What they did is like making sure your car insurance is valid on the getaway car for your bank robbery.

I feel like I've seen this gag somewhere, the getaway driver keeping to the speed limit, signalling properly, driving the robbers mad in the process.
