Source refs: `video:predictive-history-x83hclwvhi8@transcript:v1#seg-0042`; `video:predictive-history-x83hclwvhi8@transcript:v1#seg-0043` - diagnosis: Jiang says support for Putin rose across the Global South after the Ukraine war because many non-Western audiences interpret Russia not as an imperial aggressor but as a state resisting Western bullying and NATO encroachment. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-x83hclwvhi8@transcript:v1#seg-0042`, `video:predictive-history-x83hclwvhi8@transcript:v1#seg-0043` - diagnosis: Jiang presents Africa as the strongest zone of Global South support for Russia because memories of Western imperialism make anti-American narrative framing especially effective there.
