If nothing else, it has brought changes that would be relevant to some presidents and governments. In particular, those changes will not miss Venezuela. The aggravation of the long-standing intra-political crisis, which has gone beyond the borders of this country, draws attention of powerful global players, in particular the United States, Russia, and China (see more details in our article “Aggravation of the Crisis in Venezuela.
