Geo-Strategy Update: US-Iran War Incoming

Professor Jiang shares his analysis of the escalating conflict in the Middle East, focusing on the potential war between the United States and Iran. He outlines what he believes to be the US strategy of regime change, which involves decapitating leadership, creating revolutionary intent through economic sabotage, and fomenting sectarian violence, drawing parallels to past interventions in Iraq, Libya, and Syria. He argues that this strategy is unlikely to succeed in Iran due to its unique geography, the strong sense of national identity among Iranians, and their awareness of the consequences of American intervention. He assesses the strategic vulnerabilities of American allies in the region and discusses potential responses from Russia and China, and concludes by answering questions from his Discord server regarding the likelihood of nuclear weapon use and the major unknowns in the conflict. He also introduces the concept of game theory as a tool for analyzing geopolitical events, and promotes his Discord server for further discussion.
