A Chinese-Canadian academic, Jiang Xueqin, made three striking predictions in 2024 that have now resurfaced and are spreading rapidly across social media.
He predicted that Donald Trump would return to power, the United States would face a war with Iran, and such a war could end badly for the US.
Jiang, an educator who teaches philosophy and history in Beijing, is a graduate of Yale College and has spent years working on education reform and curriculum design in China.
He runs a YouTube channel called Predictive History, where he analyses historical cycles, geopolitical interests, and game theory in an attempt to forecast global events.
With the first two developments appearing to unfold, the lecture has gained fresh traction online.
Jiang believes the war could stretch on for a long time and potentially reshape global politics, as Iran currently holds several strategic advantages over the United States.
