When a world predictor speaks, we must listen. Professor Jiang and 8 predictions that might change the world's destiny. Imagine for a moment, if someone told you in 2023 that Donald Trump would win the US election again, start a war with Iran, and ultimately the US would lose, would you believe them? It might seem unbelievable, but today we will take you to listen to Professor Jiang, a geopolitical scientist who predicted all those things before they actually happened. This is an interview from the program "The Diary of CEO" by Steven Bartlett, when he interviewed Professor Jiang Shi-Chun, a famous geopolitical scientist and owner of the YouTube channel "Predictive History," who has accurately predicted many world events, especially the current war with Iran. And now, in a world where geopolitics is chaotic, he has 8 new predictions that the world might not want to believe but needs to know. What are they? The Summary will tell you. Professor Jiang, or Teacher Jiang, is not a fortune teller who uses tarot cards or divination. He is an academic who uses predictive historical science by viewing the world like a chessboard with strategies driven by power and interests. He explains history to help us understand the past, predict the future, and manage the present. He says the US does not want to go to war with Iran out of hatred, but for the survival of the dollar. This is the core of everything. Oil worldwide is traded in dollars, but if anyone can destroy this system, the US's power will collapse from within. And now, the BRICS group – Brazil, Russia, India, China, Iran – is experimenting with using gold instead of dollars in trade, and that is why Iran must be stopped by the US. But this war is not like the Iraq war. Teacher Jiang has a plan on the table and says Iraq is a desert, tanks can cross it in 3 weeks. But Iran is mountainous, a natural fortress built for guerrilla warfare or asymmetric warfare. And a more potent weapon than any bomb is the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic point through which 20% of the world's oil passes daily. If Iran closes it, the global economy will stumble within 48 hours, and that is what has already happened. But the most intense part of this episode is that Teacher Jiang has opened a box of 8 new predictions that he says are coming. Let's take a look. Prediction 1: Trump will serve a third term as US leader. Most people will immediately say it's impossible because the 22nd amendment to the US Constitution prohibits a president from serving more than two terms. But Teacher Jiang says if the constitution was written in peacetime, not wartime. He says if the US is in a large-scale war, the president can declare a national emergency, which opens the door to postponing or suspending elections legally. Furthermore, there is a group of lawyers debating whether Trump, having been impeached once in his first term, might be interpreted as having only served one full term. If we look at US history, former President Franklin D. Roosevelt served four terms during World War II before this law was written, which Teacher Jiang says is a lesson he is reading. Prediction 2: The US will announce military conscription. The US has not used a conscription system since 1973, after the Vietnam War ended. For the past 50 years, America has used an all-volunteer military system. But Teacher Jiang points out that the war with Iran is not a long-range drone attack. Iran has more than 580,000 troops and a Revolutionary Guard force embedded in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen. If the war drags on, the current volunteer army will not be enough. To put it bluntly, if you have a son aged 18-24 in America, this is something that directly affects your family. The Selective Service System is a draft registration system in America that is still operational today. All men aged 18-25 must still register, and that indicates the structure is ready to be activated immediately, just needing a presidential order. Prediction 3: Civil war in the US. This sounds extremely dire, but Teacher Jiang explains it with shocking numbers from a recent US poll, which found that over 40% of Americans believe their country is heading towards internal violent conflict. And if you add military conscription, the Vietnam War is a clear example that military conscription, which the public disagrees with, is a social fuse. Teacher Jiang does not talk about civil war like the North-South war that happened in 1861. Instead, he talks about community-level conflicts, scattered armed groups, urban unrest, and sabotage of infrastructure. In a highly polarized society like present-day America, with high inequality, these things do not require a single leader to incite a mob but can spread on their own, like wildfire. Prediction 4: The world enters the AI civilian state. This is a war where the government does not need to fire a single bullet but can win everything. Teacher Jiang talks about a system that many countries are building in the shadows: integrating what is called a digital ID with state-designed digital currencies, known as CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies). Imagine if the money in your wallet is not just ordinary money but a record of what you buy, what you eat, where you travel, and what your political views are. If you express opinions that the government dislikes, your account could be frozen immediately, without even a single court order. China is already implementing this system and is about to export its model to other countries, including in Europe. The US is also testing CBDCs in pilot projects. He says that after the war ends, the government might cite security reasons and rapidly implement this digital ID system. Prediction 5: Israel and the project called "Greater Israel." To understand this prediction or analysis, we need to go back to the map and the beliefs of some Zionist groups who have a concept called "Greater Israel," which encompasses the area from the Nile River in Egypt to the Euphrates River in Iraq, including Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and parts of Saudi Arabia. Professor Jiang does not say this will happen overnight, but he says that when the US is busy with the war in Iran and has to withdraw its forces from the region, Israel will have an unprecedented window of opportunity to move its borders through settlements and military operations, by creating facts on the ground that no one can stop if the guardian of the region, meaning the US, is not present. This might allow Israel to successfully expand its territory. Prediction 6: NATO and Russia will fight in Odessa. Most people currently view the Ukraine war in terms of territory and politics. But Teacher Jiang sees it in terms of food. Ukraine and Russia together produce almost 30% of the world's wheat. Odessa is the main port through which all this grain is exported to the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. Whoever controls Odessa controls the destiny of billions of people in developing countries. Teacher Jiang says NATO knows this is the real battlefield, not about Ukraine, but about who will hold the cards over global hunger in the future. And if Russia captures Odessa, it will be an unbeatable advantage at the negotiating table. Prediction 7: Secret US-China agreement. This is a prediction that Teacher Jiang believes most people do not want to accept because it suggests that the trade war we are seeing is a drama to distract us. He explains that the US and China are too economically interdependent to truly fight. China holds nearly $800 billion in US debt. The US relies on China's production chains for electronics, medicine, and medical equipment to an extent that cannot be withdrawn in a short period. While the media may focus on headlines about the China-US trade war, in secret meetings, both global superpowers are dividing spheres of influence: America will oversee the Western Hemisphere, and China will oversee Asia and Africa, without firing a single shot. The real war between these two superpowers is not fought on the battlefield but on a chessboard to which the public is not invited to watch. Prediction 8: A new crisis in East Asia. Professor Jiang concludes with a prediction closest to home. Historically, every time a superpower is preoccupied with wars in other regions, there will be players who seize the opportunity to test the limits in their own areas, similar to what happened during the Suez Canal crisis in 1956, when the Soviets crushed Hungary while the world was focused on the Middle East. But for East Asia, the two names he mentions are Taiwan and North Korea. China might genuinely test its reaction to Taiwan, not just through drills. Meanwhile, North Korea, now having a closer ally in Russia, might provoke at a level that escalates tensions on the Korean Peninsula to the extreme, knowing that the US does not have enough available forces to respond fully. And for us in Southeast Asia, Professor Jiang warns that we will not be players, but we will be the battleground for influence between the two superpowers dividing the world. It's a thought-provoking question: how does Professor Jiang know? Why does he see what others don't? What method does he use to view the world? He answers with Plato's allegory: the cave where humans sit and watch shadows on the wall, unaware of the real light from behind. What the media presents every day are shadows, not light. Shadows are designed by those who control power in the global financial system. And he believes the US is in a period of imperial decline, no different from Rome in the 4th century: burdened by debt, internal problems, inequality, and corruption. This is a historical cycle that repeats itself. But the question is, in an era where empires are changing hands, where should ordinary people position their lives on the global battlefield? What lessons can we apply in practice? Professor Jiang does not end with despair. Towards the end, he shares his life story, saying that once, his life was a failure, he was unemployed, and he lost faith in himself. But the person who pulled him back was his wife, who lifted him from his lowest point. Thus, he rose to share his knowledge with the world. He says he dares to tell the truth to the world because people accept him. This is his advice for an era when the world's structure is shaking. We must invest in community and relationships more than buying gold or crypto, because when the system collapses, what remains is not just money or assets in a portfolio, but the people beside us who are left. So, whether you believe Professor Jiang or not is everyone's right. But what he warns us today is not to be fooled by the shadows that the media or others use to show us. The world is undergoing a major power shift in 80 years, and those who prepare and understand first will always have more choices.
