Professor Jiang Predicts: US WILL LOSE Iran War<\/b>
\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/4Ql24Z8SIeE<\/a><\/p>\n

This 15-minute talk is presented on Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar, a U.S. political news and opinion series created and hosted by Kristal Ball and Saagar Enjeti. Its format includes one left-wing populist anchor (Ball) and one right-wing populist anchor (Enjeti), who provide news and commentary from an independent platform, separate from the mainstream media.<\/p>\n

Professor Jiang Xusqin is a Chinese-Canadian educator and writer known for his YouTube channel Predictive History. In a 2024 lecture he predicted that Trump would win the election, that we would go to war with Iran, and that we would lose that war. In this presentation He details why he believes that\u2019s so.<\/p>\n

While some media outlets described Jiang’s lecture on Iran in 2024 as prophetic, others criticized the predictions for relying on selective historical analogies, speculative game theory reasoning, and untestable assumptions. He has also been described as promoting Illuminati conspiracy theories through his YouTube channel.<\/p>\n

The channel is dedicated to exploring if “psycho-history” of Asimov’s Foundation series is indeed possible.<\/p>\n

Predictive History seeks to answer the following three questions:
\n1. What models, theories, and paradigms help us best understand world history?
\n2. What does history teach us about our current predicament?
\n3. How much of the future can be predicted?<\/p>\n
