Key Notes
Jiang says America lacks the logistics, manufacturing capacity, inventory, and preparation time for a proper multi-year, multi-vector invasion of mountainous Iran.
Jiang says a war with Iran would be a disaster because America lacks domestic manufacturing and because Americans do not naturally understand Iran as an enemy.
Jiang says a full-scale invasion of Venezuela would be complete suicide for America because the United States lacks the manufacturing capacity and strategic depth for such a war and cannot control how rival powers would exploit the distraction.
Jiang says invading Venezuela would create a cascading pressure to do Cuba and Nicaragua next, exposing that the United States lacks the manpower, resources, political will, and manufacturing base to occupy South America and Latin America at that scale.
