Not a forecast (claim audit 2026-09-26, operator-approved): in the 2026-04-21 lecture Jiang described something already true or under way. He is only reporting the current state of the war and ceasefire ('we're about 50 days into this war'), stating facts already true at time of speaking, not forecasting a future development.
