Putin is setting a trap to lure America into ground war in Iran
What Jiang said
“And my thinking is yes, Putin, this is Putin's plan moving forward and Putin will be working behind the scenes in order to create a situation where America is forced to um uh invade uh Iran with ground forces. The these ground forces will seem to be really quickly establish supremacy in Iran, but they get bogged down and then Trump the Americans may be forced to have a draft. Um and this will lead to Vietnam war protests and conflicts across uh America which may in the end trigger an American civil war. So that's um Putin and Russia and but again we don't know exactly what they will do but if I'm right about Putin then um I think he will very much be the mass manipulator behind the scenes.”
Analysis
Putin as 'master manipulator behind the scenes' engineering American overextension.
