Do you think Russia is going to break before Venezuela? I would not ever want to bet against how stoic the Russians can be.

- _Codemonkeyism 11y agoThe socialst government of Venezuela already 'broke' and was voted out in favor of conservatives, due to various reasons, one of them that the socialists could no longer pay for everything with petro dollars. What more would you assume "break" means for Venezuela? Russia's government is still in place.
- danieltillett 11y agoWe will see what all the voting amounts too in practice in Venezuela. Even if it does mean a change in government and policy there is not much they can do given their financial situation.
- simonh 11y agoI don't know what Russia 'Breaking' looks like. Is it Putin getting replaced? Is it a Russian Maidan? A Russian default? Things are going to get worse, that's for sure, but talk about economies 'collapsing' or being 'destroyed' are always superlative.
