Maduro GONE: Now Budanov Targets putin’s REAR (video commentary)

01/03/2026

BREAKING: The arrest of Nicolás Maduro (Jan 3) proves that Russia’s global alliance is IMPLODING. Exactly 36 years to the day after Manuel Noriega surrendered, Vladimir Putin is left alone as his financial safety net FAILS.

Venezuela matters because it exposes the limits of Moscow’s reach. At the same time, Russia’s internal economy is breaking. Hydrocarbon revenue has crashed to 23%, forcing an $8.8 billion cut that DESTROYS Russian Railways. The system cannot replace damaged infrastructure at the speed it is being degraded.

Ukraine is exploiting this failure. By moving Kyrylo Budanov to the center of power, Kyiv is launching a campaign that hits the crumbling rear. This is the story of how a superpower FAILS when it runs out of money.
