Iran is watching this guy
I'm starting to think that lol
@AAAAAAndrealol
His assumptions are wrong so I hope they don't do as he says.
@ActivePatriot1776
Watch the other videos and you'll know
@ActivePatriot1776 how are his assumptions wrong?
I feel like I’m back in school but this time it matters. Thank you.
You know what this made me realize, that Iran doesn't have beat the US militarily to win, they can destroy the US economy, and with that, the empire falls. Scary times, this administration didn't think this through and it's obvious. Even the Pentagon FFS were leaking out stories to the press that this was an ill advised move by Trump. My biggest fear is that the US or most likely, Israel will go nuclear out of desperation, and that can set off a chain of unpredictable and catastrophic events because Iran is backed by Russia and China. It's horrific what's happening and we really should remove this dangerous administration, Trump is acting like a madman.
did you know that this is really basic knowledge ? to imagine one is learning "deep stuff" is to reveal how far one has fallen below the most basic standard.
Nice, I do as well. We don't get much of this info in school
I knew something was happening, because corona psyop was taking place, when he was president the last time.
@kbdkbd99 the basic level of "foreign knowhow" of americans is frightenin low, for more tn a decade. it ha always been.
they rather listen to stories and phantasies by preachers far away from 'catholic' standards.
USA needs a spanish inquisition first, before education.
sad but true
Pros: Find the best teacher I ever had
Cons: teaching about how we are doomed
Acts 16:31
It's more of your interests. Not just the best teaching.
He's an idiot who said THAAD was used on drones. CCP propagandist
Will you still feel this way when none of this comes true?
Lol
This man doesn't know it yet, but he's about to become one of the biggest names of 2026
Hot take,I agree 🔥🧨
Dream on.
This man isn’t a real professor. He lives in Beijing where RUclips is blocked. It’s CCP propaganda.
@dranek CCP propaganda that's been extremely accurate..
@dranek not only that I think he has watched these videos that Ive seen from 6 years ago on RUclips that predicted what would or could happen if Iran went to war and they are pretty spot on.
Boy, let me tell ya’, I’d like to go back to living in precedented times.
Me too
The professor sounds annoyed
You don't know what are you wanting.
We are getting there don't worry.
I want the beginning of modern America. Basically the '50s.
That's where I'd want to be.
GCC is Gulf Cooperative Council (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE)).
Thank you.
Comment hero.
I was wondering what the Gnu C Compiler had to do with any of this. j/k 🙃
Thanks, never heard the term before
Aka puppits of the US. Their god is USA
I like how the fancy black board still has that chalk sound
China is going crazy, I saw a lot of crazy black board, even one of them can detect people sleeping or cheating during class😅
It’s like those fancy EVs with the vroom vroom sound options 😜
It is just a blackboard. He's just asian, so everything he does seems more high tech than it actually is.
That’s not how chalk sounds.
😂😂😂 same here. Sound effects are great.
He literally gives Iranians a hint if they clearly understand the home work very correctly 😂😂
Two deranged men started a war that can destroy the entire worldeconomy. All Netanyahu knows is War, War, War. Unfortunately, the West still regards him as a friend.
He is ironically making Israel stronger why do you think he will care about his enemies already destroyed out most of the terrorist group around Israel now he is destroying his main rival war hasn't hurt Israel economy that much its public image has been ruined but everything else is the same
@anitasingh-kp4oo economy ? 😂😂 🇮🇱 doesn’t have an economy hence the reason why they need Americas donations . And all the war mongering has made them weaker . Hiding in bunkers while your military fights for resources is pathetic looking. This behavior simply isnt sustainable.
There is so much more to that statement that you left out
They will come after you if you resist their horned one
@anitasingh-kp4oo"war hasn't hurt Israel"
Think about what you typed
He’s giving free intel to civilians to avoid fake news propaganda and governments control. Over decades, WARS have been fueled by lies from politicians. Glad people like him are enlightening some consequences to this futile war where human flesh is at stake. God help us all !
Actually this is the definition of fake news.
@JohnPhillips-qw4dbit's not he predicted that Trump would win and do. This
@JohnPhillips-qw4db How is this fake news? He provided the facts and then gave his expert opinion on them.
You're inability to accept it doesn't refute it.
@N3gativeR3FLUX
This man just talked about the impact of war to the USA
He refused to talk about the impact to China
Do remember that China is the biggest purchaser of Iranian oil
Closing Hormuz hurts China more than the US
Also a lot of theory regarding how Iran can decimate GCC
The question is why they havent done so?
Their nuclear development sites got blown up
Their supreme leader got killed
And they still dont want to act?
The reason is simple
THEY CANT
@N3gativeR3FLUX I'm not American but even I can see this guy is incredibly biased against America. He's calling Iran a mountain fortress which can destroy the entire GCC at any time. His reason is that apparently you cannot see things in mountains, not even with satellite imaging, and that the GCC lies on open ground, as though America doesn't have defensive technology which can prevent Iranian weapons. He says all this as though America didn't just explode their leader with ease. It's ridiculous bias. He clearly has good geographical knowledge but he's so ignorant in what I can only assume is a strong bias against America. He's not accounting for so many things. I don't think this guy is a military expert in any way, no idea why you think that frankly
we got ww3 before GTA 6
😂
There’s no GTA 6 if we get ww3 because nukes will be used not all of us will die but someday is getting wiped off the map.. New York, California etc..
im gonna survive nuclear world, to play one day gta6
@Spencer-e4w ☝️🤓
😂
I like how he calmly describes all these devastating events and how he just says okay, alright, etc…
Bro created an entire curriculum over this war. He's talking about "we will cover more of this in the coming weeks"
I feel like I'm back in class.
What's to cover? It's not rocket science!
@copperkeyracing6167You have a lot to learn.
I’m exited to learn. (whoa I haven’t said that in 10 years )
@Rota_rd1i exit any chance i get
I hope he doesn’t make us do homework
May the earth be protected and come out strong may all evil and destructive forces be banished
The earth will survive. Humans... will not.
We are finished 😮
@maidonthemoon89462/28/26 ww3 went hot
The earth will be around long after we are dust. 😄
Gehy
Me : We are fucked.
After listening to him.
Me : We are seriously fucked ...
Assume the position
You don't believe that bullshit.
If it was so easy they would have done it a long time ago.
Can I ran defend its population from the u s if we really wanted to kill them.And take their shit. Don't let this man bullshit you them.People are scared as hell over there😂😂😂
@GlennKeith its quite literally happening as we speak, you sound ignorant.
the world when it's my time to grow up
1.2 million views in one day is insane, this shows that professor Jiang’s teachings are gold in this time in history.
It shows that 1.2m of Iranians are taking notes. It's a joke. But realy this whole thing is ridiculous and harmful to everyone involved. Millions of lives can be saved if we simply take out 1 guy.
Not more bots on line...?
I see the same across many different genres
@tarawaukeri8928 there's a clear difference between this man's teachings, and the latest release from Tay Swift or something. It's very, very rare for a singular person to get this much exposure.
the heck... right after I watched 2 lectures from him
Just because we watch him, doesnt mean we agree with him. We can just be listening to alternate prospectives.
I wonder why US were recently in Venezuela, a country with the single largest oil reserves in the world? allegedly.
Exactly. They calculated and took it as a solution to this.
Trump sold it and pocketed the cash to his personal bank account in Qatar. UsA can't use because it is not refined, USA doesn't have a reinery.
This dude called that move months before it even happened and I’m like bro this isn’t good at all and talked about Iran 🇮🇷. This guy has been spot on 💯
@dag-nabbit you’re not too bright are you? We have refineries in the Gulf that can and do process their oil.
About what I would expect from a soulless CCP robot.
Smart move. Get rid of a dictator that their own people don't want in charge and get oil on the way. That's a win win situation.
May this professor be protected at all costs. He has excellent insights.
Its Propaganda
@Sarcasmarkuspropaganda that makes sense and is mostly true
@BenjaminZhao-c2c propaganda is always bias in one way or another. It doesn't nescicarily have to be blatent lies, so much as persuading their target group in a spicific way.
@BenjaminZhao-c2c m.ruclips.net/video/Z1EA2ohrt5Q/video.html&pp=ygUNeXVyaSBiZXptZW5vdg%3D%3D
Here from iran✋🏻
good luck friends
How does Internet work in Iran?
@PhilipAmthor
Terrible. The hacking group Void Verge disrupted the infrastructure network routers. Some people, including me, could barely get connected, but before that, everyone was connected through Starlink.
Good luck to you friend. American people support you regardless of our shyt leaders
Good Luck from brasil
Damn, that was just an overview of how the world can come to an end.
All because of Trump and Isreal.
Time to spend that retirement money. Too bad I never got that nose job in turkey
all because israel.
Not can, but will!
I hope it does. They better not fail us this time.
Hello fellow situation monitorers
Jiang is a Devil worshipping Freemason psyop agent. Thou hast been warned. He is here ONLY to deceive. WARNING. The words of God are without any error at all in the King James Bible. Jesus is the Lord.
I am a monitor who is monitoring via my monitor.
Hello
This video is what RUclips should always be 💯!
This dude has my dream job. To be able to rant for an hour on geopolitics, and talk shit about US foreign policy without interruption or disagreement is a legendary career.
Become an expert on history and game theory like him!
Could just be a guy in a room talking to a wall and there's no one there and this is all propaganda from the CCP
😂 yeas
@highonahill no lie, I don't think this is CCP, but there's DEFINITELY no one there with him lol
Jiang Xueqin (born 1976) is a Beijing-based Chinese-Canadian educator, writer, and researcher focused on reforming Chinese education by promoting creativity, critical thinking, and global citizenship. Formerly a top school administrator, he is known for his work in developing international programs at prestigious Chinese schools and his analysis of Chinese education and geopolitics.
Key details about Prof. Jiang Xueqin include:
Education Reformer: He managed international, study-abroad programs at elite institutions like Shenzhen Middle School and Peking University High School (2008-2012), focusing on innovative curricula.
Background: He graduated with distinction in English literature from Yale College in 1999.
Author & Speaker: Author of Creative China (2014), he has written for the New York Times Chinese website and China Youth Daily.
Geopolitical Analyst: He runs the RUclips channel Predictive History, which uses structural historical analysis and game theory to forecast geopolitical developments.
Other Roles: He has been a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (RSA), served on the selection committee for the Global Teacher Prize, and worked as a journalist and UN official.
You know this guy is a legit professor just from his hand writing.
I don't like to be judged based on my handwriting 😐
The Internet claims he teaches highschool. It's a fact he's based in China.
and you should know hes a yale graduate and knows ivy league inside out
and has been a prof at yale
and currently teaches at peking uni which is another elite uni in china
How is his handwriting in Mandarin I wonder
@misaw-kun Bro literally mentioned the global financial crisis and then went into a conspiracy in Switzerland about how China would save the global economy by building airports, bridges, and railroads.
Which isn't how the global economy works.
Our world "leaders" are out of control! The people of the world DO NOT WANT THIS!!!!
They never have cared about what we want. The Epstein class could care less.
Correct!
Persians want it 😂
@Dylan-f7zpeople are dying and you are laughing...sad...
Exept israelies
Professor Jiang's prognostication record: Excellent - so far.
Thank You, Sir
funny, I was thinking zero out of ten
@matthewmorgan7106Yes, I agree. I'm thinking of starting my own channel just to rivalry his. All his points were hyperbolic and poorly formed arguments.
@tfuonaboutMy response to him...
I found your lecture interesting, but as I worked through the argument step by step, I started noticing some gaps in the logic. The more I looked at it, the more it felt like the scenario depends on a lot of things going wrong at the exact same time. When you start looking at each assumption one by one, the argument starts to weaken.
Here are the main points that stood out to me.
1. The lecture relies heavily on worst-case scenarios
I understand why dramatic scenarios are sometimes used in lectures. They grab attention and show possible risks. But the situation presented assumes that almost every variable breaks in the worst possible way. In real life, geopolitics usually has balancing forces that prevent situations from escalating that far.
2. The GCC is not defenseless
The idea that Iran could easily destroy the Gulf states ignores the large military presence already in the region. Saudi Arabia and the UAE have spent billions on air defense systems like Patriot and THAAD. On top of that, the United States has major bases in the region, and the U.S. Fifth Fleet operates from Bahrain. Any large Iranian strike campaign would immediately face serious resistance.
3. Oil infrastructure is not a single weak point
Oil facilities can be attacked, but they are also spread out and built with backup systems. After the 2019 attacks on Saudi oil facilities, Gulf countries increased their defenses against drones and missiles. Even if some facilities were damaged, global oil supply does not come from one place anymore.
4. The Strait of Hormuz would be extremely difficult to close
The strait is a major shipping route, but permanently shutting it down would be very difficult. The United States and allied navies patrol that region constantly. Their mission is literally to keep shipping lanes open. Iran might disrupt traffic temporarily, but maintaining a long-term blockade against several powerful navies would be very unlikely.
5. Water infrastructure would not instantly collapse societies
It is true that Gulf countries rely heavily on desalination for water. However, they operate multiple plants and maintain large storage systems. Damaging some facilities would cause disruption, but it would not instantly collapse entire countries.
6. Gulf oil is no longer the foundation of the U.S. economy
Decades ago the United States depended heavily on Middle Eastern oil. Today that situation is very different. Because of shale production, the United States is now one of the largest oil producers in the world.
7. Asian countries depend on Gulf oil far more than the United States
Most Gulf oil exports go to Asia, not America. Countries like China, India, Japan, and South Korea rely heavily on that supply. If the Strait of Hormuz were shut down, those economies would likely feel the largest impact.
8. China would also be harmed by shutting down Gulf oil
Because China imports large amounts of Gulf oil, it would be directly harmed if that supply stopped. That makes it unlikely that China would support a strategy that damages its own energy security.
9. Mountains are not the protection they once were
The lecture emphasized Iran’s mountains as a kind of fortress. Geography still matters, but modern technology has changed things significantly. Satellites, drones, radar imaging, and other systems make it much harder to hide large facilities. Even deeply buried sites can be targeted with specialized bunker-busting weapons.
10. The regional military balance is actually very lopsided
When you look at military spending, Iran is not the dominant power in the region. Iran spends roughly around $10-16 billion a year on its military. Saudi Arabia alone spends around $70-80 billion per year. When you add the UAE and other Gulf states, the gap becomes even larger. That means the balance of power is actually much more lopsided than it may appear.
Final Thought
The Gulf region is clearly very important to the global economy, and the lecture raised some interesting strategic questions. But many of the conclusions seem to rely on worst-case assumptions rather than the more complicated reality of modern geopolitics. Military alliances, technological advances, and global economic interdependence all make the situation far more complex than a simple collapse scenario.
I could listen to him teach all day. Genius
He is a chinese canadian professor
💚🌴🐪🌍☀️
@steely4you yes, CCP member. Cause discord is in chinese favor.
he i
has very very bad speak and handwriting plus he imagine stuff
@red_zone_artdo you know how to speak or write?
That was enlightening, refreshing and heavy all at the same time.
And COMPLETELY WRONG
@Golden_Rule_TruthBetter don the clown outfit a few months from now.
@Golden_Rule_Truth How so?
The clown Show.🎉
Iran be like: "If I suffer then everybody suffers!"
Liberals: "We support the oppressive regime!"
Iran watching him spill all the tea like 🫣👁️👁️.
😂
if he knows this im pretty sure the people fighting for their existance already know this, i just hope they don't back out
both Iran and the U.S. know each other’s war plan , only question is , like the professor says : how far are they willing to go with it ?
Thank you very much for sharing and for your time. 🙏
This is the best lesson about the current course of the war that a student can get in his life. Only someone like Prof. Jiang can afford to do something like this. I believe the whole world is following Prof. Jiang's lessons with great excitement. No television station can offer something like this; on most television stations, you only get garbage and propaganda.
I think Prof. Jiang will bring many TV stations to a standstill. No one has done anything like this before. It really is a brilliant idea from Prof. Jiang.
Thank you very much for that!
Jiang is pretty keyed in. He understands the underlying power structures/interests/industry that move and shape events prett damn well imo
hes full of himself, there's 100 ways to make the strait irrelevant. The US has all the gulf states on a short leash, its all irrelevant. Iran's gov won't last much longer, its to large to divided. They kill 30k of their own people at a low guess. He's spewing good ideas but there not right based on force
@farthing751 He also said China saves the global economy by building airports in 2009.... How does that make sense?
@farthing751 are you smarter then him ?
@farthing751 your logic is flawed; you don't understand do you? iraq was way weaker than iran and it took a while, only of course to end in failure with the rise of isis and other terror groupes; btw there are militias to this day in iraq that are shia, and currently are fighting the us from iraq, if the other terror groups join iran it will be even more disastrous; only backing off will work in which the guy in the video was correct to say; but with martyrdom mentality and the arrogant orange man; that is very unlikely;
Now the CIA is giving weapons to the kurdish forces...This will get bloody...
for the kurds lol
@Dbz00001LOL? This is a fucking game?
@Dbz00001So did ISIS say as well.....😅
They never stopped giving weapons to destabilise countries.
Lol
So that’s how the Chinese and the rest of East Asia get involved. Wow, could get out of hand quick.
There's a biblical prophecy about 200M man army invading the ME.
@TheQueue-u1qyes. It's been planned for hundreds of years
@TheQueue-u1qthere is no prophecy about it. You guys just read your ideas in the text
@Akhgy I must have been thinking of Nostradamus then.
@Akhgy yeah tell that to Netanyahu
Excellent ideas AND chalkboard!
Operation AIPAC Fury
I wish I'd thought of this 👍
Operation angry muslims
Epstein Fury too
Opewashun Conspiwacy Theowy.
@PALE1ISTEHBEST Go back to Zorro ranch!
All of the best professors have that hand writing. Guy checks out
Not quite. English is not his native language and yet I had no difficulty understanding him.
Nolman4real yeah their years of developing expertise in their field are NOTHING compared to the genius of “nolman4real” they’re all losers compared to THIS genius!!
@djb5275like imagine what kind of loser you have to be to want to teach the next generation! Booo
America will never have classes like this.
Yuri Bezmenov gave lectures like this in the 1980s.
That's because one party loves the uneducated
@TheCluesRNTheBlues i’m pretty sure this guy is a professor at Yale University
@AddisonKleber no, he is not. He is a history and philosophy teacher at Moonshot Academy.
this is in perfect english they own language
His content is reasonable, which makes it so scary. It's reasonable outcomes.
It's not though. It's 100% WILD speculation that's not based in reality. Iran had almost their entire Navy destroyed two days ago. They can't close the Strait of Hormuz completely and even if they could, they have no ability to keep it closed. The US is already escorting ships successfully through the Strait and Iran's ability to stop them is limited to pot-shot attacks.
@WillZiacomathat is b#llshit what u are said
@WillZiacoma Is there a reason Iran would not be able to use drones to attack ships passing through Hormuz? It is my understanding that they have a large stockpile of attack drones.
@WillZiacomaIran is not using and never intended to use its navy in a strategic way in this war. They knew it was very small and exposed. Instead, Iran has small boats with anti-ship missiles and other capabilities to create a naval version of its "mosaic" defense strategy. The US is not escorting any ship. They made the offer. No one has taken it yet.
@WillZiacoma afaik everything he said was either factual or likey.
Question is the relevance, if this chain of thoughts is complete to describe the most important correlations and options
- or if there are things missing: options, technology, loyalties, reserves, which paint a different (big) picture.
Jiang is excellent … he’s right and makes it all very straightforward accessible to almost any audience.
This feels like a TED talk but nobody goes to TED talks anymore!
Ted talk had it's time. The quality has declined.
Probably because it was tied to the pedo trafficking ring
I thought america will have a AI bubble burst but didnt expect a war will burst the bubble.
well, we’re fucked
a few psychopaths run the world and wont enact justic on each other
@Fahmbo"that part of the world" 👍
Yes, well one day we die anyways. But I have to tell you, I hope there is no sercond, third.... life here on earth. Enough evil, I m done 😮
Iran has no ability to enforce this closure.
Seize the days
Very informative. Thank you.
People of the world, I am speaking to you as an Iranian woman. I am asking you to seek peace, not a Third World War. Please, put pressure on your leaders and do not let World War III become a reality.
Human life is the most precious thing in this world. Do not allow the religious ideologies of Israel-based on the false claim that they are the world's superior people and that others' lives have no value-to be realized through the shedding of millions of lives.
Whether it is an innocent, blameless Iranian girl or a kind and brave American soldier, both are precious souls whose lives matter.
Most of us Americans hate the man and never wanted war. We are praying for us all.
@nopressurenodiamonds5566not even close. You Americans historically just kill covilians for fun to support your comfortable lifestyle. Look at all the wars since WW2 🎉
Your country is a terrorist state, find new leaders
No you are not in Iran. Iran has no internet
@Xanthi2020 she didn't say she was in Iran.. She said she was Iranian.
I feel like a 90’s History Channel Nostradamus episode told me this would happen.
Quasimodo predicted all this shit
Baba Vanga.
No, don't look her up. You don't really want to know.
@N3gativeR3FLUXyou know I can’t resist to immediately go and do it 😂😭
@johnnosmith4417 Of course 😂
Some of it is pretty interesting but scarily accurate if you want it to be and some of it is just plain weird. Enjoy. 😁
Just remember like any of that sort of thing, take it with a grain of salt. It's easy to fit events into vaguely worded phrases after the fact.
@N3gativeR3FLUXI know about her for years. She is legit but also not the only one that knew about this . Can’t believe we’re alive to see it happen in our lifetime dang
Prof Xiang: Strait of Hormuz is vital
My captions: SuGaR MOose is vital
Sugar Moose DOES sound vial.
US takes in less than 10% of its oild from the straight and we are securing oil rights in Venezuela thd worlds largest oil reserves. We literally y dont need anything from Middle East.
HEY MAN I NEED SOME SUGAR MOOSE URGENT! CAN YOU SORT ME OUT ? 😅😅😅😂😂😂😂
Tomorrow ... or the next day, Iran will not even have a fishing boat it can send out to lay a mine. The Sugar Moose will remain open for Chinese ships, if the Americans and allies allow it.
@AlexPrettiDead-j4i Someone slept during class. Point of the lecture is the regions importance related to the demand of the US Dollar and the re-investment of sovereign wealth funds into the US stock market. Pull the plug and what happens.
Thank you for this video! Hugs from Spain ♥
A couple of desalination plant hits away from being back to tents in the desert
More like a couple of desalination plant hits away from a full blown nuclear war and the devolving of humans as a species
@SighFly be fun 👍
@SighFly last time i heard, UAE has no nukes just Lamborghini's
I think it might actually happen, they have the famous murial picture showing a famine, and all the food comes through that strait
spoken like a true war criminal
As we all go through this ww3, each community should plan for its food security and health network.
Professor be safe they are also watching
A fattah 2 is reaching him ft sure😅
Who do you mean is watching? Iran is friend with Chinese
@21savage4li meant Secret society
他在中国，我们中国可不怕美国，也不怕什么光明会，黑暗会
@21savage4lmossad
Professor Jiang has outlined what has occurred in the last 11 days, remarkable.
Damn, that’s badass board/screen.
School kids in china is lucky
Fr, thought the same thing
It's a smart board. We've been using them at school since 2009😂
@mankyraverthis is the most advanced one tho but yeah smart boards came out in early 2000s
@AKDUGIi know it's advanced. The ones we used way back when were super chunky and had simple features. This one is sleek😎👌
For the algorithm, thank you for the video professor
stolen media from @predictivehistory - go watch the real channel
😎👍
I wouldn't give a bucket of piss for some Chinese-Canadian professor's perspective. No one is going to allow the entire US economy to dump and no one is going to want a new world order where some other so-called "super power" takes over. Russia can't even fight poor old Ukraine and China has never fired one bullet in a technology warfare.
The Americans have ruined Iran in just a few days. Just let that soak in for a minute. Not four years like the Ukraine and Russian tanks running out of gas flying metal heaps they call jets....The super power is America and that ain't changing anytime soon, especially over some poor old country run by lunatics' in the Middle East.
The "professor" thinks the Iranians can run the world from some mountain hiding drones. Hilarious...mountains can be blown up too....and America doesn't need to nuke anyone to do it. These days . . . America thinks ten steps ahead of every military move they make and if you are not American, you'll have a hard time understanding just how powerful the good 'ol USA remains today.
If I had a penny for every Chinese guy or ignorant, cocky college professor that I heard talking to children as if he knows the future, I'd be a very, very wealthy man.
@applejacks123fdfdsw56 he could be right though?
My IQ just went up 100 points by listening to the Prof..pure gold!!!
😂😂😂👍👍👍👍❤️
Are you 12 years old? Maybe you people should have gotten an education a long long time ago.
@cdcd3414 😂😂
I can listen to this guy with my coffee all day and won’t fall asleep!
same things has been said about IRAQ, it never happened
@nea@nealtran1856if you look at the history of regime change in Iraq, it was a disaster from 03-till this day, Afghanistan from 01-till this day, Libya from 11-till this day. First it was about, “potential nuclear weapons”, to this day, I’ve yet to see evidence, then the tone shifts to regime change. So what is it? Is it about weapons or you just want to put a Zionist in office? We don’t want another war in the Middle East. Let’s fix health care, our infrastructure, crime, education, job security, lowering taxes, lowering interest rates, affordable housing, and so on. Not spend our hard earning overtime money to be given to a foreign government, (Israel) in return to fight its own problems.
This should be breaking news and show it on every device on this planet 🌎.
I mean this war is breaking news already lmao
@raghavopal348yeah but people are not getting the clear picture like how prof did
He will be super famous if his 3rd prediction becom s true.
I think he is already famous cause my Chinese coworkers are all watching his video in these 2 days
Says a lot of bull crap though lol, I have been watching him for awhile and lots of what he says (not all) are baseless.
@UntoldCaseFileslike what? He predicted Trump coming into power and the Iran war before Trump even took office, his third prediction is that US will lose this war. I hope he'll be right.
@UntoldCaseFiles
Completely agreed.
Many times
He just Gives his ( baseless) opinions
With Full confidence of a Professor
& people thinks those r FACTS 😂
@ultravioletsus you’re obviously not from the US.
I love how easy you make this to understand. Thank you
This video will help people understand how the world they live in truly works. Non of that mainstream hog wash. 😅❤
You'll be EXTREMELY misinformed if you believe anything this pseudo-professor says about geo-political-military analysation.
I wouldn't give a bucket of piss for some Chinese-Canadian professor's perspective.

The "professor" thinks the Iranians can run the world from some mountain hiding drones. Hilarious...mountains can be blown up too....and America doesn't need to nuke anyone to do it. These days . . . America thinks ten steps ahead of every military move they make and if you are not American, you'll have a hard time understanding just how powerful the good 'ol USA remains today.
If I had a penny for every Chinese guy or ignorant, cocky college professor that I heard talking to children as if he knows the future, I'd be a very, very wealthy man.
@applejacks123fdfdsw56 we should, the USA is our enemy! We should actively do everything in our power to destroy the USA.
@applejacks123fdfdsw56Yeah.... Just like the lack of new recruits everyday growing up at the USA country, also the failure it was the Vietnam, Syria and Afganistan wars where even despite own's the best amongst advanced technologies in the world being capable of """predict""" movements from their enemies with caution using an IA they loss anyway and much of his soldiers died in vane.
Also the same poor Ukraine that didn't has last long since they pass the half of the country and they're reaching the capital so much that could had to call to an cease to fire because if not would loss in a way or another, even their own soldiers were saying it was all an hell on earth cuz couldn't have a chance against Russia, without mention is not so easy to pass from the mention of such like those weaponry peaks made by USA to use it right in real time.
@eternalManchildNo, you shouldn't. You are dumb. It is better under America than under China or Russia. Everybody prefers the Americans to the other empires.
Iran top leaders: write that down, write that down
what top leaders
😂
Their leaders are all dead. But you go on encouraging the evil islamists.
❤
You should probably brush up on current events pal, Irans done. This teacher is just wishing, for chinas sake, nothing more
Do not Go to war with Professor Jaing. 🎉
😂🎉
Right they out here literally trying to rewrite history in they favor rather than the truth I believe the ai rigged too everything’s fixed
😂😂😂
His view is nonsense! My response to him...
I found your lecture interesting, but as I worked through the argument step by step, I started noticing some gaps in the logic. The more I looked at it, the more it felt like the scenario depends on a lot of things going wrong at the exact same time. When you start looking at each assumption one by one, the argument starts to weaken.
Here are the main points that stood out to me.
1. The lecture relies heavily on worst-case scenarios
I understand why dramatic scenarios are sometimes used in lectures. They grab attention and show possible risks. But the situation presented assumes that almost every variable breaks in the worst possible way. In real life, geopolitics usually has balancing forces that prevent situations from escalating that far.
2. The GCC is not defenseless
The idea that Iran could easily destroy the Gulf states ignores the large military presence already in the region. Saudi Arabia and the UAE have spent billions on air defense systems like Patriot and THAAD. On top of that, the United States has major bases in the region, and the U.S. Fifth Fleet operates from Bahrain. Any large Iranian strike campaign would immediately face serious resistance.
3. Oil infrastructure is not a single weak point
Oil facilities can be attacked, but they are also spread out and built with backup systems. After the 2019 attacks on Saudi oil facilities, Gulf countries increased their defenses against drones and missiles. Even if some facilities were damaged, global oil supply does not come from one place anymore.
4. The Strait of Hormuz would be extremely difficult to close
The strait is a major shipping route, but permanently shutting it down would be very difficult. The United States and allied navies patrol that region constantly. Their mission is literally to keep shipping lanes open. Iran might disrupt traffic temporarily, but maintaining a long-term blockade against several powerful navies would be very unlikely.
5. Water infrastructure would not instantly collapse societies
It is true that Gulf countries rely heavily on desalination for water. However, they operate multiple plants and maintain large storage systems. Damaging some facilities would cause disruption, but it would not instantly collapse entire countries.
6. Gulf oil is no longer the foundation of the U.S. economy
Decades ago the United States depended heavily on Middle Eastern oil. Today that situation is very different. Because of shale production, the United States is now one of the largest oil producers in the world.
7. Asian countries depend on Gulf oil far more than the United States
Most Gulf oil exports go to Asia, not America. Countries like China, India, Japan, and South Korea rely heavily on that supply. If the Strait of Hormuz were shut down, those economies would likely feel the largest impact.
8. China would also be harmed by shutting down Gulf oil
Because China imports large amounts of Gulf oil, it would be directly harmed if that supply stopped. That makes it unlikely that China would support a strategy that damages its own energy security.
9. Mountains are not the protection they once were
The lecture emphasized Iran’s mountains as a kind of fortress. Geography still matters, but modern technology has changed things significantly. Satellites, drones, radar imaging, and other systems make it much harder to hide large facilities. Even deeply buried sites can be targeted with specialized bunker-busting weapons.
10. The regional military balance is actually very lopsided
When you look at military spending, Iran is not the dominant power in the region. Iran spends roughly around $10-16 billion a year on its military. Saudi Arabia alone spends around $70-80 billion per year. When you add the UAE and other Gulf states, the gap becomes even larger. That means the balance of power is actually much more lopsided than it may appear.
Final Thought
The Gulf region is clearly very important to the global economy, and the lecture raised some interesting strategic questions. But many of the conclusions seem to rely on worst-case assumptions rather than the more complicated reality of modern geopolitics. Military alliances, technological advances, and global economic interdependence all make the situation far more complex than a simple collapse scenario.
@m@maboundry2 Very interesting…..🤔
@maboundry2
What are you on about? Point by point on your arguments.
1) You say he only speaks of worst case scenarios? Conflicts in war escalate by nature. You need to read up Karl von Clausewitz's "The War". Thinking anything otherwise is the definition of naivety. That's how countries enter wars woefully unprepared, because they underestimate the game and jump to premature conclusions. Experienced leaders expect the worst, and hope for the best. You are doing the exact opposite. Betting on the enemy underperforming don't do either side justice. Just a reminder, war isn't just about economics and politics. Soldiers and civilians' lives are at stake.
2) Having THAAD systems and Patriot missiles do not make a state invulnerable to hypersonic strikes. Iran has already proven itself capable of destroying THAAD systems during the current conflict. I believe there are 6 positioned in Middle East. Iran claims it has destroyed 4. Why else do you think US is contemplating withdrawing THAAD systems from South Korea and repositioning them to the Middle East?
3) You are accurate to some extent on "global oil supply does not come from one place anymore". For example, China's been diversifying its oil import sources over the years. But nonetheless, choking the bottleneck on one of the world's largest oil production source doesn't do anyone any good. US, being an oil production country itself, is seeing its own oil prices rise today regardless. What do you think the effect on resource-import dependent countries like Japan will be? Remember Japan relies on the Middle East for 95% for its oil import. Yes, I'm sure there are reserves and other import rerouting contingency plans. But do you think importing oil at higher prices (double if not triple) works in Japan's favor? Especially when Japan's economy is already in such dire state? Same thing with Europe. You think Europeans can just ignore a 45% LNG price increase? Easier said than done. Allies stood by because they thought their security and interests would be protected. What do you think will happen to their trust when they realize that's not the case?
4) Your statement, "Iran might disrupt traffic temporarily, but maintaining a long-term blockade against several powerful navies would be very unlikely." Again with the unfounded optimism. Wars don't operate based on your imagination and hopes. That's how the Korean War came to be. General MacArthur famously said, "Home by Christmas". It lasted 3 years! The US initially anticipated the Ukraine war to last for only a few days to a few weeks. The fact is it's still ongoing to this day. Every time, millions of lives are lost. If you don't learn from your mistakes, then history is doomed to repeat itself. Again, I recommend you to read Karl von Clausewitz's book "The War" and learn about the concept escalation, because your take on war is absolutely childish.
5) Again with your optimism on "water infrastructure would not instantly collapse societies". You are assuming the conflict would be resolved quickly. But in reality, Iranian foreign minister openly rejected a ceasefire and any possibility of negotiation on live interview. And DT agrees too with the "no time limits" remark. It's becoming a war of attrition. In a war of attrition, you'd be a fool to downplay the importance of water desalination plants, the only resource more vital than oil in the Middle East.
6) You fail to see the complexity of the ongoing conflict and the consequences it might potentially bring. What you said, "gulf oil is no longer the foundation of the U.S. economy", is, quite frankly, very superficial. American economy isn't all about oil. Go read the news article "Gulf Nations Consider Withdrawing U.S. Investments Amid Rising War Costs". That's around 2 trillion worth of investment.
7) I agree with you. Asian countries will be impacted by the gulf oil. Same with Europe. But you think that won't cause ripple effects and ultimately hit US economy? Every increase in cost will ultimately be passed down to the consumers. And what do you think the biggest consumer country in the world is?
8) Ofc China would be impacted. But to what extent? China imports 90% of Iran's oil export, but that only accounts for 10-15% of China's total oil import. The entirety of Middle East oil export accounts for around 40-50% of Chinese market. But their ships aren't affected by the Hormuz blockage. Go look it up. Chinese and Muslim owned ships have been exceptions to the blockage.
9) I beg to differ on that part. Unless you plan on nuking the entire country and get rid of its mountainous layout. But that would change the narrative completely. Other nuclear states would respond without a doubt. Otherwise, the cost of overcoming such land formations would be astronomical. You can't afford it, not with the current US economy.
10) Regional power and defense budget are irrelevant. They aren't incentivized to escalate into a full out war for others' interests, as for which two states' interests it'll be for, I'm sure you know. Gulf states have their own interests to protect. It is wise to reach clear distinction between them and not confuse them to be the same.
My understanding is there's no way Iran will back down first, unless DT does. And even if DT does, it is not certain that Iran will. But one thing's for sure. A protracted war of attrition does not work in US's favor. And if the war drags out, US stands to lose more than what it gains.
most simplified view of a greatly complex situation, appreciate the effort professor.
4:32 damn that circle is round, marvelous
That’s a round ass circle drawing mofo right there
😂 thought I was the only one .
I kept staring at it too
Hahaa yes it's perfect
Now i see it😮😮😮😮😮🎉🎉🎉🎉
In my all time in school I never been focusing like this
A bit too late. World is ending 😂😂😂
@godwillsmajutta2091😅
Love that he has an upgraded board from last year.
More funding for this class
I feel like this guy just wants to see the west fall
and gonna be like that, that's good, why not?😂
When the war started, I was waiting for the professor to inform and educate me on what is currently transpiring and where this could go. Thank you 🙏 for these new videos. My prayers are with Iranian people 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
"you can swim across it" - as part of your morning routine
Especially now since there is no traffic. 🤔
This man deserves all the attention he’s getting, and his insights on war aren’t even nearly his most interesting takes. He’s very highly educated and insightful in various philosophical fields. Kudos to you professor!
You are a brilliant and passionate presenter and educator Professor Jiang!!
Remember when they told us that Kamala was gonna start WW3? 😂😂
She would've been a disaster to this planet. Thank God shes not involved.
Remember when they said trumps first assassination attempt was iran 😂
Bible talks about a trumpet i didnt expect it to be literally a guy named trump.
Yes she Gaaad damn did. Among other things she predicted. This a not good
Trump bankrupted the casino. Now IT wants to bankrupt the whole world.
The Desal plants are super expensive and take forever to build too, those will be huge blows
It takes so little effort to destroy them as well. Who'd have thought not starting wars/supporting PDF-file warmongers would make the most sense in the world.
Do Israel also have such plants?
@alestbest. Yes. Almost all Their Water. 💦. Except for what they Rob From Palestinians
My favorite teacher on RUclips. 🙂👏👏👏
I would pray for you from now on, you are the mentor and teacher people like me need the most right now.
I know we covered a lot.....but you scared the cr*p out of me, Professor Jiang! Thank you!!

So basically all this time Iran is thought of as the enemy not because of its Shia fundamentalism, but because it holds oil and because it is close to the soft underbelly of the US empire
Don't forget #1: The Great Satan himself desires Iran to descend into civil war, so that his tiny country can emerge as the sole hegemonic power in the Middle East with over 200 nuclear warhead missiles
@nikkinitinegara7589what worrying me is that lunatic Satan would lost it patient because it takes too long to defeat Iran..it would launch the nuke..
No. While this teacher does have some good points (vulnerabilities, strategies, etc.) he's also extremely biased. Regarding your question: Google World Without Zionism conference Teheran 2005, 2005 Hezbollah cross-border raid, and IAEA Iran uranium enrichment 2005. If it wasn't for islamists in Iran, it would be just another oil rich country like Saudi Arabia, UAE, etc.
@xDomglmaothe Saudis practice Wahabism which is an extreme form of Islam as well. Saudis are Islamic fundamentalists as well. Same for the Emirates, and Kuwaitis. But the gulf states are friendly to the USA and Israel, atleast outwardly. The fact that Iran resisted any manipulation of its governing leadership by the western nations, unlike the Gulf countries, makes it antagonistic. The fact that they are antagonistic, and so close in proximity to the Gulf states and Israel, makes it the western countries nervous.
@roycemccutcheon8582 You nailed it, the Saudis, etc. are friendly to the West while Iran isn't. Would be easier if everybody was friendly and threatening "to throw the Jews to the sea" or "Death to America", wouldn't it?
Thank You For Explaining Professor.
Only came across this professor on one of the news channel. He explains so well ❤
You're the MAN. I don't recall ever disagreeing with you. That's rare. 👏🏻
these videos are my movie nights
This guy has become a real predictor!! All Countries must be watching this guy to make their strategies.
Very informative and frightening at the same time, thanks!
Great videos.
I also have seen you on national US Tv.
You are one of the most serious yet clear analyst.
Thank you for bringing us more clarity in this world so we can better understand it.
I feel like I’m learning mow than I ever learned in a Brooklyn high school
Are you almost ready to turn on your country? That’s the main point of this. 😂
@jordankush4575 No. Turn on which country?
lol you may learn more, but this is like an international logistics lesson. And it’s definitely a video to cause panic among nationalists and patriots in the US.
@rawlsrulesIt seems pretty obvious its a psyop to get people to turn against the U.S.A. Everything he says bashes the U.S. Its not that he is completely worng with what he says but what is his agenda?
@jordankush4575 its because the US+Israel are the biggest terrorist org in the world
04:35 The professor nearly turned into the Joker 😂
I had the exact same thought 😂😂😂 I was waiting for the dog chasing cars analogy lol
lol. Batman is definitely taking notes.
Very interesting analysis thank you. Congratulations on almost 2 million views in 3 days. James J Walsh in Limerick city Ireland 🇮🇪
Learnt more in this 12 min video than what i have ever learnt watching all the news!
This guy is typical university, education, propaganda, probably sponsored by China.
The United States will not go into a ground war in Iran, and never will. This is about replacing the leadership to find a leader who will support selling Iranian oil and nothing but US dollars. The war has nothing to do with people getting killed. It has nothing to do with Iran, creating nuclear weapons. It’s about hegemony with the US dollar.
Was just about to comment the exact same thing! Tv=propaganda
@b@brent0708m coming back to this in a few weeks we’ll see if your wrong sir.
Bro connects the dots with highways
bro my degree is useless and my career is a deadend lol and no gf
Keep rockin’ Bro! You never know when it will turn around.
The good news is the gf part. Well done! From a divorcee. The degree never really mattered but was nec. Career wise? Do your own thing. Make MONEY! There are so many consumers in the world. Be blessed. Im also retired and single. My female pitbull is my sweetest honey bun ever. Too cute for words, true story. Never been happier.
Right there with you
You may not realize it but you are the happiest man in the world.
@tanquerayandchronic5308 bro is 65 y/o how long will he have to wait lol
Very good , smooth explanation , well explained professor Jiang, all love and respect 🙏
they design this war to mess and harm the rest of the planet.
Seems like a great story. I want to see an evaluation of this and other past videos when the actual results occur.
Good Explanation
So proud of you for speaking the truth about Iran
Love listening to the professor and his calm logic view of the march of history in our world today
Iran is smartly implementing Salvo doctrine.
Oh yes, and sooo effective too
What's that
Can someone passionate about this subject please explain what salvo doctrine is?
@matthiasschwarzenberger9579 don't you have uh.. maybe THE GODAMN INTERNET!! find out the info yourself, why everything's gotta be spoonfed to ya?
@king_ish you perhaps have internet maybe?
your knowledge is priceless.👍
how wtf do we do w it all i see is that we are doomed unless rich lmfao
The world is watching this guy
This person is a CCP propaganda machine.
The is is horrifying, thank you for helping us understand the gravity of the situation, Professor! God help this world
He's full of shit. The strait is already open. Iran can't close it they aren't capable.
@iamwearingacupAre you living under a rock? It's close and dead.
@anonymous_anonymityare you living under a rock? Iran letting ships through. Begging for a deal.
