I haven't experience any financial crisis in my whole life before because I am living in a balanced place where we could get our food from our backyards, but I guess I still need to see it for myself.
Getting food from your backyard is one thing and having a global financial crisis is a case everyone will get affected one way or the other.
Putin himself began quite tough and aggressively to bar an already well-established security system in Europe. He began by military and paramilitary methods the seizure of the territories of neighboring states and by the same methods extended his influence to other states with large reserves of energy resources.
In his defense he will say he needs to protect his country from other forces and so is the reason he made those decisions in Ukraine and now in Venezuela, but not certain about what kind of action is being planned in Venezuela but US cannot claim they wanted peace either, as they have the biggest military base around the globe and just take a look at the war they started in the last twenty years alone around the globe and some of the effects it had is huge because of the immigration of people from these war torn areas to safer places like Canada and other European countries and it will create a much bigger problem in the future.
The fun fact is that the narrative always changes with perception.
If you look from Russian stand point what they are doing is correct and on the other hand if you look from US stand point what they are doing is also correct.
