It is part of a growing pattern. Iran, Russia, especially parts of Africa all learning the same lesson. When Washington tries to shut a door, China opens a window and more nations are choosing to climb through.<


The Venezuelan case is particularly striking because of its sheer scale. This is not a small economy with limited resources. This is a nation sitting on the largest proven oil reserves in the world.
