US politics

America will invade or move against Cuba very soon (it is already embargoing Cuba).

There has been no invasion of Cuba in the six months since. The US did escalate: the fuel blockade continued, more than 10 warships and about 10,000 personnel were deployed to the Caribbean (USS Nimitz off Cuba), and the Pentagon drew up options, but CBS reported in July that near-term action was unlikely.

Economy & markets

JP Morgan says the world will run out of oil by mid-April; continued war means shortages of fertilizer, food and semiconductor inputs, and possible global economic collapse.

The world did not run out of oil by mid-April 2026. JPMorgan had warned that inventories would fall toward 'operational minimums', a level well above empty, and later pushed that timing to June and September. A ceasefire on April 8 briefly dropped Brent to about $88, and there was no global economic collapse.

Dugin predicts, and Yang endorses, civil war in the US, and collapse of China, the Middle East and Europe, while Russia, staying coherent, survives and emerges as the Third Rome.

As of Oct 2026 there is no US civil war and no collapse of China or Europe. The Middle East is in an ongoing regional war but has not collapsed. With no timeframe, the claim stays open.

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.
