Mines, drones, missiles, asymmetric warfare that doesn't require a Navy, just chaos.

Disrupt the Strait and the oil stops flowing.

The petrodollar cracks, the Gulf states panic, and that $2 trillion that was supposed to fund the American AI economy

It goes into defense instead.

Here's what Jiang's framework showed him that so many other people missed.

The growing alliance between Iran, Russia, and China create an existential danger to the US, especially because right now the US is a declining empire

And when you combine that with the incentives facing Iran plus the incentives of Israel and Saudi Arabia, it becomes impossible for Trump to stop himself from attacking Iran.

I'm going to break all of that down.

First, just understand, not only did the circumstances dictate that Trump was guaranteed to attack Iran, the circumstances guaranteed that it would be impossible for him to win once he did.

Jiang could see that for reasons that are going to become incredibly clear.

The attack would cause Trump to lose control of the very thing he was trying to protect, the Strait of Hormuz.

welcome to part two the part of history everyone has forgotten to understand why iran specifically is the pressure point on the us and why it was the pressure point on the british before that and why in this moment the us was guaranteed to attack you need to understand

a piece of paper written by a British geographer back in 1904.

His name was Halford Mackinder and what he published in 1904 was one of the most important and least talked about strategic documents in modern history and it continues to echo to this day, controlling behavior that most people simply do not understand.

Mackinder looked at the world and saw something that basically everybody had missed.

For centuries, the tiny island of Britain had managed to dominate the globe by ensuring that they had the largest navy so that they could control the seas.

Given that trade happened on the seas back in the day, it didn't matter how big your country was.

It mattered how powerful your navy was.

As an island nation, Britain understood that that was the only way for them to dominate the world.

And dominate they did.
