If you’re in a revolutionary group of any kind, never forget that the money and weapons you receive likely has strings attached, strings that you are unaware of. (see history of KKK and The Weather Underground, for example).
USA smuggles weapons all over the globe, they have been doing this since the Brown Bess rifle. Odds are very good they will be somewhere in any supply chain.
Other countries have their own version of the CIA (much smaller, of course). They may very well provide weapons and money, often, that was provided to them by other sources (usually the CIA for some reason, yes, the CIA arms many groups that are enemies of the USA).
In the CIA’s defence, they also sell weapons simply to make money, no strings attached.
Obviously, they then use that money to avoid congressional and democratic oversight and perpetuate evil.
Bit of a tangent, but I sometimes wonder if the Banana Republic clothing store was a CIA psy-op to ensure the American people didn’t read too much about actual banana republics and the role of American empire.
But they have!
