Key Notes
Jiang says the expansion of the Ukraine war and escalation of Middle East conflict were expected consequences rather than surprises after Trump's failure to end the Ukraine war quickly.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Jiang concludes that the Ukraine war has been a tremendous success for Putin because it exposed America as a paper tiger and showed U.S. overextension.
Jiang predicts Putin will not end the Ukraine war, seek peace, or expand it into Poland, but will drag it on because Ukraine functions as a black hole for NATO money, weapons, and manpower.
