- model: The speaker argues that by maintaining control over the Panama Canal, the Middle East, the Strait of Malacca, and Greenland, America can control naval access, trade access, and maritime navigation. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-0hyet47cc-e@transcript:v1#seg-0012`

- prediction: Jiang argues that a Middle East war would knock out oil production from Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, the UAE, and Kuwait, leaving Venezuela, Canada, the United States, North America, and Russia as key suppliers. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-xrmerlhuqbk@transcript:v1#seg-0020`
