Key Notes

Jiang's retrospective account of the war's broken diplomacy, told in the 2025-11-15 interview.

diagnosis

Jiang says Putin and Zelensky had a deal roughly three years earlier, but Boris Johnson intervened with promises of financing, weapons, Russian collapse, and a march to Moscow, locking Ukraine into a catastrophic war built on false guarantees.

Current strategic diagnosis on 2025-08-05.

diagnosis

Jiang argues Putin has no incentive to accept a peace deal because strategic sequencing would let Washington pivot from Ukraine to Iran to China and return later for Russia.
