Jiang says Trump's death would change many of his predictions because Trump's possible third term is central to how he currently reads the political future.
The counterfactual model says nonintervention would have let Russia overextend, lose logistics and public support, and give Ukraine a better chance of winning through guerrilla and probing attacks.
Jiang argues, controversially, that Stalin intentionally let Hitler invade and intentionally let millions of Soviet soldiers be captured to create the only strategic path to Soviet victory.
In Jiang's game-theory counterfactual, the only Soviet-winning scenario is Germany invading deeply enough to threaten Moscow; Soviet offensive or shallow defensive outcomes would push America against the USSR or let both sides bleed.
Jiang argues that if Robespierre had seized the crown like Napoleon, the French Revolution would have failed and lost world-historical force.
Jiang argues that absent Stalin's maneuvering, the expected 1945 outcome was a partitioned and colonized Soviet Union, with the threat of global communism destroyed.
Jiang says if the Soviets attacked first and reached Berlin, Japan, Britain, and the United States would unite against the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union would lose.
Jiang says if Germans attacked and Soviets stopped them at the border, the other powers would let Germany and the Soviet Union destroy each other.

Jiang opens by saying 2026 is not yet the final explosion but the year the whole machine visibly speeds up: a Ponzi-like global economy, imperial consolidation around trade routes and resources, and nation-states losing...
