Key Notes
Jiang's central alternative explanation is that Putin treats war as a tool for radically reshaping the Russian people.
Jiang says Putin's political task is to free Russians even if they enjoy prison or slavery, by creating the warrior as a concept to combat consumerism.
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.
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.
Jiang says society is shifting from a consumer basis to a warrior basis.
Jiang says Putinism turns war inward: war is no longer primarily conquest or civilizing others, but a mechanism to transform and discipline one's own society.
Jiang predicts Putinism will become the dominant ideology for the next 50 years, spread to countries such as Japan, Germany, and Britain, and help create a multipolar world over the next 10 to 20 years.
Jiang says Putin's legacy will not be a strong Russia but Putinism, the idea of continuous war.
