Source refs: `video:predictive-history-aepsuc-uq5k@transcript:v1#seg-0040` - model: Jiang's central alternative explanation is that Putin treats war as a tool for radically reshaping the Russian people.

Source refs: `video:predictive-history-aepsuc-uq5k@transcript:v1#seg-0034` - definition: Jiang defines Putinism as continuous war: a society should constantly fight wars to discipline and unify the nation and make people stronger and more prosperous. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-aepsuc-uq5k@transcript:v1#seg-0040` - diagnosis: Jiang argues that for Putin the Ukraine war is less about conquering Ukraine or defending against NATO than about saving Russian civilization and the Russian soul.

Source refs: `video:predictive-history-aepsuc-uq5k@transcript:v1#seg-0046`, `video:predictive-history-aepsuc-uq5k@transcript:v1#seg-0047` - diagnosis: Jiang says Putin's legacy will not be a strong Russia but Putinism, the idea of continuous war.
