It looks like the leftist government of Brazil has chosen sides in the impending conflict in Latin America. Swimming Against the Red Tide is reporting that Brazil has secretly flown over 31 tons of firearms into Venezuela. His post links to a report by World Check which is questioning why a country with a very well equipped army and police would need another 50-70,000 firearms. Their answer is ominous:

In a country where the armed forces and the police are already well-equipped, these weapons can only have one intended use; to arm civilian supporters of the current regime, who will use it upon the opposition in an expected violent confrontation that could degenerate into a civil war.

Scary stuff.
