Empire After Empire: The Endgame Illusion
Empire After Empire: The Endgame Illusion (Jiang Xueqin and the Geopolitics of Replacement) In his lecture ‘Game Theory #16: Pax Judaica Rising’, Jiang Xueqin develops a provocative and highly speculative interpretation of how the war with Iran may end, not by fixing a date for its conclusion but by tracing the strategic logic that, in his view, already points towards its final shape. His central argument is that the United States is not simply struggling in a difficult war but revealing the deeper weakness of a declining empire.

Washington entered the conflict assuming that overwhelming force, decapitation strikes and economic pressure would quickly bring surrender. Instead, the war has exposed a profound inability to adjust to resistance. The American state, its media system and its strategic class continue to speak as though victory were already achieved, even while the conditions of the conflict suggest the opposite. For Jiang, this gap between official certainty and strategic reality is the clearest sign of imperial hubris.

Best Lead Management Systems in 2026: Tools That Actually Convert Leads Into Revenue
The challenge of finding new customers is no longer difficult; instead, it is primarily due to ineffective management of leads along the sales funnel, as most companies have difficulty maintaining momentum between the time they capture a lead to converting that lead into a sale.
