Trump’s claim that Iran is “one month away” from building a nuclear bomb echoes a familiar pattern in American foreign policy rhetoric—one that has circulated for more than a decade. In this lecture, Prof. Jiang Xueqin examines how such claims can become the narrative foundation for war, even when the underlying evidence remains uncertain or contested. His analysis asks a deeper question: why would a rational superpower risk deploying massive numbers of troops into a hostile country where they could become strategically trapped?

Drawing on both historical analysis and game theory, Prof. Jiang compares the current geopolitical tensions with earlier episodes where powerful states embarked on risky or ill-conceived military ventures. He revisits the disastrous Athenian invasion of Sicily in 415 BCE, when imperial overconfidence led Athens to send a massive expeditionary force into unfamiliar territory—only to see its army destroyed after supply lines failed. The consequences were catastrophic, ultimately contributing to the collapse of the Athenian Empire.

The lecture also connects these dynamics to the Vietnam War, where gradual escalation—what later became known as “mission creep”—transformed a distant and largely unfamiliar conflict into a massive military commitment involving hundreds of thousands of American troops. Through these parallels, Prof. Jiang highlights a recurring pattern in history: great powers, driven by political narratives, economic pressures, and strategic hubris, can drift into conflicts whose risks far outweigh their perceived benefits.
