Why America is Engineered to Destroy Itself in the Middle East – Prof. Jiang Xueqin

There are three major interests forces that are pushing the United States towards war with Iran. The first is the Israel lobby. Remember that the Israel lobby is composed of both Jewish interests as well as Christian interests. Representing the Jewish interest is something called Apac. And they have a membership of about a 100,000. But they're very wealthy. There are many billionaires in this group. So this group has financial power. In fact, Apac is considered the second most powerful lobbying organization in the United States. The first is the pensioners. Okay, there's about 30 million of them and their lobbying organization is the most powerful, but Apac is second. But also in the Israel lobby are the Christian Zionist. So for example, the organization Christians United for Israel has 7 million people in its membership. So together the Christian Zionist and Apac are extremely powerful force in government and they want a war in the Middle East in order to advance Israel's interests. Also remember that America is now addicted to empire because empire represents easy money. All money has to be channeled through the US. And so there are many people in the US who just basically make their money by speculating on money. for example, Wall Street and that has made Wall Street extremely powerful right now in US politics. And the third force is Saudi Arabia. Remember that in our discussion of Saudi Arabia, we learned that the major conflict in the Middle East is actually not between Israel and Iran, but between Saudi Arabia and Iran. For Israel, Iran is a security threat because it supports Hezbollah and Hamas. But for Saudi Arabia, Iran represents a threat to its very existence. Saudi Arabia must resolve the Iran problem soon. How these three forces manifest themselves through Trump. Okay, so basically Trump is their champion. And privately, there's a man named Jared Kushner who is Trump's son-in-law. He's married to Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump. And Jerry Kushner happens to be very good friends with both Benjamin Netanyahu who is the leader of Israel as well as Muhammad bin Salman who is the leader of Saudi Arabia. Now Jared Kushner's father Charles Kushner was a very prominent sponsor of Apac. In fact when Benjamin Natanyahu comes to stay in the United States he lives with the Kushner family. So one night Benjamin Natanya had to stay in Jared Kushner's bedroom and Jared Kushner had to sleep in the basement. Okay, that's how close they are. And Jared Kushner is friendly with MBS, the leader of Saudi Arabia. So friendly that when Jared Kushner started a private equity fund, Saudi Arabia invested $2 billion. So for Jared Kushner, these three forces were able to exert influence on Trump. We also discussed it's very likely that Trump will become president of the United States again in November and he will pick Nikki Haley as his VP and that means that Nikki Haley will be the one in the Trump White House pushing for war against Iran. As we discussed, Nikki Haley makes most of her money from the Israel lobby, the anti-Iran lobby. We know from the first Trump administration that these forces are able to exert tremendous influence on Trump and the evidence is one Trump withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal that would have secured peace between United States and Iran. Trump moved the United States embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in Israel which caused major friction in the Middle East. So the question then is why would the United States send 100,000 troops into Iran? So let's look at the individual motivations of the individual players. So you have the United States. What does the United States want to do? It wants to topple the regime in Tran, right? And you can only do that through a ground invasion. So the United States is trying to topple Iran. But then you also have other actors. So Iran, what does Iran want to do? Basically the revolutionary guard corp. What do they want to do? They want to kill as many Americans as possible. They want to force an American landing invasion. So Iran wants to force a US invasion knowing that if the US invades, it has to lose the war. Okay, it will lose the war because the revenue guard can just send suicide bombers against the United States. Now let's look at Israel. We know that the United States wants to topple Iran. We know that Iran wants to force a US invasion to defeat the Americans to humiliate the Americans and exact revenge for what happened in the past. What does Israel want to do? What is Israel's optimal outcome? If you're Israel, what do you want to happen? You want Iran defeated. Okay. And then what do you want to happen? You want Iran defeated? You want the proxies defeated? And then what do you want to happen? Do you want the United States to stay in the Middle East? What happens if United States and Iran both lose the war? Mean Iran is destroyed as a country. United States is destroyed as a military presence in the Middle East. What would happen? Israel becomes the top dog in the Middle East. Israel can now control the entire Middle East. So the optimal outcome for Israel is Iran and United States are both destroyed. How about Saudi Arabia? What is their optimal outcome? Exactly the same as Israel. Exactly. Which will leave the Middle East to Saudi Arabia and Israel. But Israel is a far superior military than Saudi Arabia. Remember, it's very easy to blow up Saudi Arabia. They have oil fields. Not that easy to blow up Israel. So Israel becomes a top dog. Do you understand game theory? In other words, all the major participants want an invasion of Iran, but they want different outcomes. and Saudi Arabia and Israel most benefit if this situation happens where you have 100,000 US troops in the country and they can't get out because it becomes some cost fallacy. United States can only pull in more soldiers. You can either use historical analysis to get to this outcome but you can also use game theory to get to this outcome. The United States has nuclear weapons which is its ultimate trump card. So what Trump can say to Tran is like I have 100,000 troops in country. You have to let them go or I will nuke you. Trump can say that. Listen, I'm Trump. I'm Donald Trump. I need to look strong. I have 100,000 troops in the country. I can't get them out of the country. So, he says to Tran, you either let them go. You either guarantee himself safe passage out of the country or I will nuke you. That's what will happen. That is what Donald Trump will do once the situation arises. The only way for Donald Trump to save face is to threaten Tran and says, "You either let my guys go or I will nuke the entire country." So, how does Tran get out of the situation? How do the Iranians protect themselves against this possibility? Because as because you're absolutely right. This is exactly what will happen if this situation will arise. Trump will respond with nuclear weapons with a threat of nuclear weapons. So what must Iranians do to protect themselves against this possibility? Who can help the the Iranians now? Russia. Okay, do you understand? So before this war happens, Iran and Russia must come to an agreement where Putin says from the onset, no one is allowed to use nuclear weapons. If Iran used nuclear weapons, I will nuke Iran. If the United States will use nuclear weapons, I will nuke the United States. If Israel use nuclear weapons, I will nuke Israel. If Putin says that, how will the world react? If Putin says this, you are not allowed to use nuclear weapons. How will the world react? He's a hero, right? He saved humanity. But because he says this, the United States is now trapped. And so this becomes a black hole for the United States where they can only send in more troops. They can't get too many troops out. They can only send in more troops. What's the problem with this? What's the problem with sending in more troops? No one wants to go fight. The military cannot recruit soldiers. But even if you did have enough troops, as Jack says, you can't resupply them. Why? Why can't you actually res resupply your army? Why not? But there's a bigger problem than the supply lines. What is it? What do you need to create bullets and ammunition? America has no manufacturing capacity because America moved all its manu capacity to China. So for every one ship that America can build, China can build 232 ships. That's what the Pentagon says. If this war were to happen, there's absolutely no way America can win this war. It's just completely trapped inside Iran. And once it becomes trapped, some cost fallacy comes into play and America just puts in all its resources into the country. But it's a black hole. They cannot use nuclear weapons because Putin has said from the from the onset, you are not allowed to use nuclear weapons.

In this lecture, Prof. Jiang Xueqin examines three forces he argues are pushing Washington toward confrontation with Iran: the influence of pro-Israel advocacy networks such as the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and Christians United for Israel, the financial interests tied to America’s global economic dominance, and the strategic rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Together, these forces shape the broader debate around U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. Prof. Jiang also explores the political relationships surrounding Donald Trump and Jared Kushner, whose connections with leaders such as Benjamin Netanyahu and Mohammed bin Salman illustrate how alliances and personal networks intersect with global strategy. Framing the issue through Game Theory, he analyzes how competing interests among the United States, Iran, Israel, and Saudi Arabia could create a dangerous strategic trap in the region. The lecture ultimately raises deeper questions about global power, nuclear deterrence, and the shifting balance of power in a world increasingly shaped by the rise of China.
