Key Notes
Jiang says the Russian war economy after February 2022 should show social improvements if the theory is right, citing stronger production, employment, and ammunition output as evidence.

One item in Jiang's checklist is over-urbanization: he says Western megacities have become parasitic sites of luxury, decadence, and corruption that no longer produce real value.
