prediction
He predicts that Odessa will become NATO's last stand and a death trap, producing resentment and political collapse in NATO countries and bringing Turkey into a confrontation Russia can exploit.
prediction
Jiang predicts as a thought experiment that North Korea could overtake or eventually conquer South Korea within roughly twenty years by converting poverty, cohesion, weapons exports, Ukraine-war experience, and threat leverage into military power.
diagnosis
Jiang argues that Western expectations in February 2022 were that Ukraine would defeat Russia, sanctions would destroy the Russian economy, and the war would strengthen NATO and isolate Russia.
diagnosis
Jiang says the opposite of Western expectations happened: Russia has basically won through attrition, achieved its main objectives in eastern Ukraine, and avoided economic destruction because the world still needs resources.
