What Jiang said
“The Ukraine invasion was not a response to NATO. The Ukraine invasion was to implement this grand vision for the creation of the third Rome”
Analysis
Ukraine invasion was not response to NATO but to implement Third Rome vision - Russia controlling one-third of world's carbohydrates and energy to export while others collapse.

The single headline reaffirms Dugin's ideological link to the Ukraine invasion, but this is a vague, unfalsifiable geopolitical thesis with no clear resolution criteria met yet within the 2022-2050 window. · Source: The Imperialist Philosopher Who Demanded the Ukraine War - The New Yorker (Sat, 01 Mar 2025 08:00:00 GMT) -

Not a forecast (claim audit 2026-09-26, operator-approved): in the 2026-04-02 lecture Jiang described something already true or under way. He states the invasion 'was' to implement the vision, describing a past causal claim rather than predicting a future development.
