Iran & Middle EastOpen

Iran will not launch a ground offensive and will continue guerrilla warfare.

Timeline No deadline given

Timeframe duration of the war

Verdict Open

So far this holds: Iran has not launched a ground offensive since the video and has relied on missiles, drones, mines and attacks on Hormuz shipping (for example, at least 12 tankers attacked from Sep 28 to Oct 5). The claim covers the whole war, so it cannot be judged yet.

What he said

I think a ground offensive by the Iranians would be complete suicide, right?

Technology & AI

The US government will take over or make public the AI data centers (public ownership/bailout of AI companies).

As of Oct 2026 no US nationalization of AI data centers or government stake in OpenAI has occurred; the White House (David Sacks, Nov 2025) ruled out an AI bailout, and federal involvement is limited to leasing DOE land (e.g., Savannah River Site, July 2026) to privately financed data centers.

War & WWIII

The US military will expand rapidly over 10-20 years and occupy the western hemisphere (Mexico, Colombia, Honduras, Cuba, Greenland, possibly Venezuela).

Early signs are mixed. The US captured Maduro in Jan 2026 (before the video) and is building two bases in Greenland. It kept a fuel blockade on Cuba, but Trump said in late Sept 2026 he doesn't expect to need the military there. There is no occupation of Mexico, Colombia or Honduras. Deadline 2036.

How calls are found and checked

Each transcript was read in full by an AI model to pull out predictions, with the exact quote and timestamp. Each one was then checked with web search against events up to the update date, with sources linked.

How the hit rate works

Spot a mistake? Report it. Hit rate = (came true + ½ partly) ÷ resolved calls. Claims that were already underway when he made them are left out. Open calls haven't reached a verdict; Unresolvable ones are too vague ever to check. Verdicts are AI-assisted and may contain errors.
