註釋Moscow's interference around the world has protracted crises and given new life to ruthless leaders. Today, Russia's efforts to prop up Nicolás Maduro have been a relatively low-cost, but high-reward strategy for Moscow to sow further instability in the United States' own hemisphere. Venezuela presents an opportunity for Russia to play the role of spoiler--in some capacity--in a crisis near the United States, and to promote its own commercial interests, and preferred image as a growing power. It's an opportunity to plant the flag, foster instability, and have leverage over key energy resources at the same time. It is imperative that the current dynamics are reversed so that Moscow's foray into Venezuela comes at a higher cost and is seen as a public relations disaster for Putin back home. Continued meddling will only help to prolong the suffering of the Venezuelan people.
