Depends on the global economy for their economic survival. Which means that regardless of who is in control, they have to make smart choices to maximize their oil revenue and to ensure their economy is fully integrated into world financial markets.

Their present economic woes are solely their fault. The shortage of dollars crippling their economy is due to laws and policies they implemented. Making VZ 100% socialist will fix that problem.
