Key Notes
Jiang predicts that Putin will remain alive and in play for roughly another twenty years, framing that as an instinctive forecast rather than a demonstrated certainty.
Secret societies do not believe they can rewrite history at will; they believe they can ride historical waves by selecting agents such as Caesar, Hitler, Stalin, Trump, or Putin to propel the script forward.
Jiang contrasts Putin's formulation with Xi's by arguing that Putin wants Russia and China to take the initiative and actively lead the multipolar world rather than merely uphold the existing order.
Jiang says Putin's true mission is not simply to oppose America rhetorically but to destroy the value of the U.S. dollar by destroying global demand for it.
Jiang presents Putin as the only current world leader who can think strategically over the long term, and says Putin's method is to organize sanctioned states and disaffected participants in the American system into sources of volatility that destabilize the dollar order.
Jiang argues that a North Korean crisis serves Putin because it pulls Japan and the United States into a destabilizing Korean Peninsula problem at a moment when America is already distracted in Iraq.
Jiang argues that Putin's Europe strategy is to drag Germany into a long war so that conscription, sacrifice, and time generate enough domestic tension for anti-war, anti-immigration right-wing parties such as the AfD to take power.
