Putin fought the US through Venezuela
Venezuela is one of the countries that have had their fair share of economic sanctions in the past. The US sanctioned the Venezuelan government after the country failed to put an end to its atrocious treatment of its citizens. However, it is evident that Putin helped the Venezuelan government to trade their oil despite the trade sanctioned. Evidence suggest that the Putin administration is working hard to overturn every single attack on the Russian allies. Putin has managed to play in the lengthy US-Russia cold war.
