Venezuela is about to bite the dust...

[indiucky]

Maybe, but I think it was a pretty bold move. So bold, and given the international coverage of the event, I'd be hard pressed to think it a false flag operation. I mean, it's a guy who is part of the goat's "armed forces" in open opposition to the leader of the nation. That's a powerful image, regardless of what they didn't actually accomplish at the courts. It's plausible that this is the event that spurs either a popular uprising of even a civil war.

I agree.....

Now back to serious business.....Has Venezuela's Wonder Woman been seen lately???? And new pics or videos of her running????????

I found these but I do not know if they're new or not...

She looks like she walked out of Fallout 4. And what the hell, do Venezuelans all have gas masks hanging in their closets?

For those that are still there, yeah, that's a good investment.

I'm almost certain this wasn't a false flag: no one died. Maduro could gather real paramilitaries to attack a frenemy/patsy/innocent group of civilians and use that more effectively than this.

I have got to say that Kut and I, (who agree on little) can agree that said rogue cop has EXCELLENT taste in women....

Ella es muy bonita....

Just saw on TV that inflation is 700 percent.

Just saw on TV that inflation is 700 percent.

My wife's family went through this in Argentina about 10 years ago.......My mother in law said the price on an item would change between when you picked it up and then got it to the register....I laughed and told her "That's a good one" and she said, "No...I'm serious...They quit changing the tags because the inflation was happening so fast..."

My wife's cousin has a small business that does money exchanges and she said it was insane.......Argentine's can't bring anything in from outside without paying a huge tax...She picked up a Playstation 4 for a customer of hers and I saw her taking it out of the package and said, "Whoa...That's easier to take in the box, just leave it in" and she said she could not, it has to look like it's hers and she is bringing it back....She then asked me to scuff it up with my knife...She paid $300 for it and sold it for $700 because the customer was a friend....They go for $1100 normally....

The Smugglers Blues I guess.....BIG black market there on US currency....

Nothing in the news that I could find since May. Caterina has an instagram account that she seems to keep updated. From the instagram account she has pics of protests uploaded two days ago, and other nice images too.

Have fun!

I've seen a lot of pictures with what appeared to be homemade masks made from water bottles. Hers looks like some kind of dust mask, I don't think it would work real well against tear gas.

Doesn't everybody?

Navy MK 5 Clearview gas mask.
I can neither confirm, nor deny, whether nuclear weapons, I mean, gas masks, are in my possession.

Well, I actually do... but I'm assuming everyone else on my block would be sol.

OK I looked at that picture and thought that was the love-child of an M17 and an MCU-2P.

Edit: WHOA! That is a seriously old mask. That stock number format (XXXX-XXX-XXXX) was pre-Oct 1974. This has been "Great Moments in Supply History". We now return you to our regularly scheduled thread already in progress.

If I had one (I can neither confirm nor deny) it would have a NSN of 2H-4240-00-268-9732.
I have no idea of what time frame that would be though.
My training didn't extend to stock number identification.

The 00 in the NSN format is the post-Oct 1974 format. It'll be 00 or 01, not sure if they have made it to 02 yet. I left the Supply career field in 1999, some things stay with you.

As far as gas masks go, I probably spent one enlistment at MOPP 2 or higher. There is a big difference between an MCU-2P and a 3M dust mask with homemade water bottles stuffed with cotton for filters. Then again there is a big difference between VX and CS.

Most of the crew would be tied to airlines in this... Emergency Air Breather | Military Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia
Notice the airline going to the ceiling.


But, if you were in fire team 1 or fire team 2, you needed mobility, so you wore... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_Breathing_Apparatus
"The canister uses potassium superoxide as both a CO[SUB]2[/SUB] scrubber and an O[SUB]2[/SUB] generator. A sodium chlorate candle in the base generates additional oxygen when first beginning use as the canister has to achieve a high internal temperature before it will start generating oxygen on its own."

Don't touch the canister, it's HOT.
And, I see they were phasing out in 2001, so I guess I'm a dinosaur.
Only the fire teams wore them, because there were a grand total of 10 onboard a sub crewed by approx. 100, which sometimes carried 40 or so "riders".

Would honestly like to see Cali pass their single payer nonsense just have to have a US based example of how bass akwards they are to think Venezuela and other failed socialism is the way to go.

Anytime Ven is brought up lately though, all I hear is "well they didnt do it right. That wasnt TRUE socialism."
