Topic Scope And Freshness
Key Notes
Jiang says Ukrainian morale and front lines have already collapsed, with mass desertion as evidence that the war is effectively lost for Ukraine.
He says Ukraine is effectively lost and that the entire Ukrainian front could collapse within the next two months.
He predicts that the Ukrainian front lines may collapse within two months because Ukraine cannot replenish losses and NATO may need to backfill the line with volunteers from Poland.
He argues that the deeper problem is not pace of advance but collapse of Ukrainian morale: soldiers do not want to fight, desertion or refusal pressures are high, and the Zelensky circle is engulfed in corruption scandal.
Jiang says false flags will no longer be aimed at restoring Ukrainian morale because he sees the Ukrainian cause as effectively spent at the front.
Jiang predicts that the final stage of this extraction is that Europeans themselves will be pushed to die on the Ukrainian front lines while America preserves its own position.
He predicts Europe will have to reinforce the Ukrainian front or face total collapse, and that a collapse could trigger a political revolution in Ukraine that produces a more pro-Russian regime.
Danny argues that Jiang's escalation forecast sits uneasily beside Trump's promise to end the war, and he cites reports that the United States may deport Ukrainians whom Kiev could then use at the front as evidence of how desperate the situation has become.
