Prof Jiang· Host0:00

We have seven more classes left in the semester. And what I wanna do in these last seven classes is look at the game theory of World War III. Okay? So what I wanna do this class is just introduce the chessboard or the players and how the game will be played over the next five to 10 years. So the two major players in World War III are United States and Russia. And right now, they are fighting a proxy war in the Middle East between Israel and Iran, where the United States obviously supports Israel, Russia supports Iran. And what's gonna happen is that this war, um, in the Middle East, it's gonna spread out and it, it will engulf the entire world. Okay? So what I wanna do today is look at the individual players, USA, Israel, Iran, and Russia, and explain to you who they are and how they will play this game. And so-- And once we understand their strategy, then it's gonna be pretty easy for us to make certain predictions
