Dugin's Foundations of Geopolitics is presented as the source of the Third Rome plan: American unipolar liberalism will collapse because secularism, individualism, and liberalism break community and are anti-human.
Pax Americana brought prosperity by securing trade routes but also produced conflict because the United States could destroy countries without effective restraint.
Jiang says the American-led rules-based order initially secured buy-in by distributing benefits, but later unipolar arrogance converted that order into open unilateral abuse.

A source-grounded reading of the lecture's central reversal: if Trump's goal is to preserve the old American empire, the Iran war looks insane.
Jiang starts from the harshest frame available: Iran is not one more crisis but the hinge on which the next half-century turns.
This interview starts with a forecasting method and quickly turns into a map of imperial decline.
Greg Carlwood keeps pushing Jiang from historical method into prophecy, money, education, and mystical disclosure until one through-line becomes visible: bureaucratic empires hollow out the human soul, then try to escape their own decay...
