The war on Iran is the visible spark.
Key Notes
Jiang says Orthodox eschatology expects Moscow as the Third Rome, no Fourth Rome, Russian unification of Orthodoxy, and Greeks returned to Constantinople after Russia defeats Turkey.
Using Iran as an example, Jiang says Russia's need for the north-south corridor materially converges with Orthodox eschatology about an alliance between the Orthodox and Islamic worlds.
Jiang rejects the standard sovereignty-only explanation of the Russia-Ukraine war and instead argues that Russia is being driven by Orthodox eschatology and a Third Rome mission.
Jiang says Orthodox eschatology imagines Moscow as a Third Rome that will unify the Orthodox world and align with the Islamic world against the Anglo-American West.
Jiang says this Orthodox prophecy also includes eventual reconciliation between the Orthodox and Catholic worlds, making the anti-Western coalition civilizationally expansive.
Jiang reports a popular prophecy that Erdogan will fall, a NATO-loyal Turkish faction will provoke war with Russia, and Anatolia will then rejoin the Orthodox world as the Byzantine order is restored.
Jiang predicts that a new pro-Putin Turkish faction could symbolically prove its allegiance by returning Istanbul to the Greeks.
Jiang casts Moscow and Putin as the katechon-like force whose divine mission is to restrain and eventually overthrow the Antichrist in order to restore a messianic age.

Jiang begins with prediction as a disciplined loop, then turns the whole century into a religious struggle in disguise.
The episode's pressure is not that religion sometimes decorates politics.
