Global ‘Total War’ Imminent As U.S. Readies Iran Strike | Xueqin Jiang

Potential Imminent Strike on Iran [0:15]

• Indications of an imminent strike on Iran include airline cancellations for flights to the Middle East.
• The US, under President Trump, has deployed an armada of warships to the Middle East, signaling potential action against Iran in response to protests and regime actions.
• The events leading to this point include currency speculation causing protests in Iran, followed by a crackdown by the Iranian government.
• The Iranian government's success in jamming Starlink terminals and blacking out the internet allowed for the identification and rounding up of key operatives, delaying expected air strikes.
• This situation is seen as a culmination of years of events, with US actions like the assassination of General Soleimani and the move of the US embassy to Jerusalem being viewed as declarations of war.

"And my prediction is that the United States goes in Iran. This war is drawn out but the Americans can't fight this war. This will lead to massive civil war, civil conflict."

US Grand Strategy: State Collapse and Disruption of Alliances [0:59]

• The US objective with Iran is described as state collapse, aiming for Iran to splinter into different ethnic states, rather than simple regime change.
• This strategy is part of a broader plan, identified in a Pentagon document, to destabilize seven nations, with Iran being the final target.
• The goal is to disrupt the potential for a grand alliance between Russia, Iran, and China, which poses an existential threat to American and British naval dominance and global trade.
• By creating internal chaos in Iran, the US aims to prevent the formation of this Eurasian alliance that could negate sea power through continental railway networks.

"So the goal is not regime change per se. The goal is to collapse the state, state collapse."

The Weaponization of Globalization and a Shifting World Order [2:39]

• Mark Carney, speaking at Davos, described the current era as a "rupture, not a transition," highlighting that economic integration has been weaponized through tariffs, financial coercion, and supply chain vulnerabilities.
• This signifies a move away from extreme global integration towards nations prioritizing their own interests and building independent systems.
• The US national security strategy reflects a view that multilateralism has been exploited, leading to a decision to prioritize American national interests.
• European nations, feeling unacknowledged for their contributions and exploited by American economic policies, are considering building their own international systems independent of the US.

"Great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons, tariffs as leverage, financial infrastructure as coercion, supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited."

Canada's Strategic Diversification and Transnational Capital [2:53]

• Canada's recent deal with China, involving EV imports and visa-free travel, can be interpreted in two ways: as a strategic diversification of its economy away from over-reliance on the US, or as a move driven by transnational capital.
• The latter perspective suggests that Canada is not a sovereign nation-state but a resource colony controlled by entities like the City of London, which views Canada as a "toxic asset" due to its economic vulnerabilities.
• This transnational capital is seen as seeking to dump Canada's pieces onto foreign investors, including China, Qatar, and America, potentially leading to Canada being absorbed by the US.
• The implementation of digital ID and digital currency is presented as a tool for financial repression, mirroring China's playbook to control citizen behavior.

"Carney is not the prime minister of Canada. Carney is an agent of transnational capital which controls Canada."

The Collapse of the American Empire and the Rise of a New Order [13:44]

• The speaker argues that the US, as a dying empire, is becoming more provocative, characterized by hubris and a refusal to acknowledge its decline.
• Historically, empires in decline have initiated more conflicts, and the US is seen as abusing its power, leading to economic instability and the co-option of its political system by elites.
• The US military budget increase to $1.5 trillion is viewed as feeding a corrupt military-industrial complex rather than enhancing effectiveness.
• The potential for a civil war in the US is discussed, stemming from conflicts between federal and state authorities, cultural divides, and election integrity issues.

"These are the classic symptoms of an empire in collapse. It does not know it's dying. It refuses to die and it lashes out of the world after it is dying."

The "Board of Peace" and Trump's World Order [32:08]

• Donald Trump's formation of a "Board of Peace" is interpreted not as an attempt to create a new world order, but a "Trump-based world order."
• This initiative is seen as a response to perceived humiliation at international forums like the UN, where Trump felt dismissed.
• The Board of Peace, with many signatories from Trump's immigration ban list, signals a move towards an America-first policy that challenges existing global structures, potentially even attracting figures like Vladimir Putin.

"So his strategy is, you know what, screw you guys. I'm going to start my own Trump world order."

The End of the World as We Know It and the Signal of Precious Metals [34:38]

• The surge in gold and silver prices is interpreted as a signal that investors recognize the collapse of the fiat currency model and the impending era of complete global war and embargoes.
• This is seen as the literal end of the world as we know it, driving a rush into precious metals as a safe haven.
• The global economy is viewed as being run by transnational capital, which will milk assets like Bitcoin and AI before orchestrating a deliberate "burning down" of the Western world through civil war and conflict.

"Like we're seeing literally the end of the world and that's what you know this rush to these precious metals signify."

The Future: Greater Israel and Regional Devastation [36:53]

• The new world order is predicted to be centered around Israel, with the Middle East becoming peaceful for decades after widespread destruction.
• The "Greater Israel project" is envisioned, with regional devastation in countries like Iraq, Libya, and Syria paving the way for rebuilding with cheap immigrant labor.
• Transnational capital is expected to flood into this region, while the rest of the world remains in chaos and conflict.

"The Middle East will be peaceful the next few decades because basically the entire Middle East has been destroyed."

Iran as the Most Consequential Theater of Conflict [38:29]

• The conflict in Iran is deemed the most consequential, as its outcome will determine the world order for the next 50 years.
• The prediction is for a drawn-out war in Iran, leading to the devastation of the nation-state and a subsequent civil war and withdrawal of US forces.
• This would lead to CENTCOM being folded into the IDF, establishing the "Greater Israel project."
• A second consequential conflict is foreseen between China and Japan over control of maritime trade routes, particularly the Strait of Malacca, driven by Japan's need to maintain independence and freedom of navigation.

"What happens in Iran will determine the world order for the next 50 years."
