Imagine thinking that money solves such problems.
Who are you going to pay for that? Your neighbor Joey, he will go and perform an intelligence operation in a foreign country? Or maybe some professional CIA-as-a-service corporation?

It's appealing to try to help this person, though. Maybe other people feel the same.
There's also the question of logistics. It would be hard to transport weapons across country borders. The most likely way to do it might be to start the op in a neighboring country. But if you want to drive, you'll probably be stopped at a checkpoint. Walking isn't very appealing. I suppose you could parachute in, Fortnite-style, but that's pushing the boundaries of believability. Plus that Mig they sent to intercept the civilian plane might have a few things to say about that.
That poor guy. I wish there was something to do for him.
Money (ie, power) creates and solves such problems; it just doesn't do that under the sun.
Actually I'm pretty sure there are PCMs who could handle it.
Crowdfunding mercenaries to go against nation states would be very cyberpunk.
