Relevant Lectures And Readings
The interview sounds scattered at first, but its logic is consistent.
Jiang treats the Middle East conflict and global monetary system as parts of one strategic architecture: empire, geography, and control of energy channels.
Jiang makes the Iran war a test of religious prediction: if Al-Aqsa survives and peace arrives, his model fails.
A source-grounded reading of Jiang’s law of escalation: the actor with the biggest weapon can still lose if the weaker actor has calibration, legitimacy, options, and a way to make the bully destroy himself.
Glenn Diesen asks Jiang the practical questions first: what is this war for, who is exhausting whom, where is the weak point, and why would Washington choose such a disaster?
The interview opens as a first-week war briefing and then keeps widening.
The title promises Iran war prediction, but the interview's real shape is stranger.
