Turns out, they don't like fascist regimes that invade their neighbors and try to destabilize an entire continent.
Venezuelans hate Putin, and they are not subject to 'western' propaganda.
They certainly don't like the nasty, bigoted thug who is your Czar.
Once Russians begin to realize that Ukraine is lost forever as an ally to Russia, and is in fact openly defiant of Russia, and that countries like Estonia have nothing to fear from the former great power, I wonder how long Putin's approval ratings will last.
I do hope you enjoy your role as China's petrol station.
