The Man Who Predicted The Iran War: The Next 9/11 Will Target Your Bank Account! | Professor Jiang
Professor Jiang Xueqin joins Steven Bartlett to argue that collapsing globalization will trigger wars in Iran, Taiwan, and Ukraine, causing cascading damage to supply chains, financial systems, and Western democracies over the next 20 years.
The gist
-
Jiang says global supply chains are single points of failure, where disrupting one link, like a shipping lane, can collapse the entire tech ecosystem.
-
Jiang argues that if Iran disrupts global shipping, insurance costs spike and the petro-dollar system that funds US dominance breaks down within months.
-
The Bronze Age Collapse shows a hyper-globalized civilization fell within 50 years from cascading crises, and Jiang says modern systems have even less resilience.
-
Jiang says aging Western nations face a choice between demographic collapse or internal conflict, and robots cannot fill the gap because rare minerals are China-controlled.
