Key Notes
Persian civilizational pride as a reason Iranians know what they are fighting for.
Jiang says the Chinese do not trust the Russians because Russians remain deeply nationalist and believe themselves superior to China despite posturing as a junior partner.
The present struggle is a civil war inside transnational capital among nationalism, religion, and AI over the creation of a new AI god that can replace money.
French revolutionary armies defeated monarchic professional armies because citizens animated by the new sovereign theory were willing to fight and die while mercenaries mainly wanted pay and intimidation.
Germany's rival nationalism arose as a way to defeat France by grounding the nation-state in language, culture, race, and iron and blood rather than social contract theory.
Jiang argues that nationalist states pursued population growth because wars fought by peoples required ever more people willing to fight and die.
He argues the plan will fail because nationalism makes subordinate nations seek independence, while corruption and polarization weaken America internally.
The Third Rome strategy is to keep Russia coherent through territory, nationalism, religion, faith, war, and allies while the United States, China, Europe, and the Middle East collapse.
America will need to move from secular global Pax Americana to a national, community-centered Christian identity that Jiang calls an American Holy Empire.
