A “DEUS EX MACHINA” COLD WAR EXIT STRATEGY REVISITED FOR THE IRAN WAR
Trump’s Golden Opportunity To Defuse The Middle East Conflict By Capitalizing On The Geolocation Of Al Qaeda’s Chief, A Half-Century-Old Blueprint For The Cold War’s Diplomatic Resolution, And Modern
SUMMARY
There exists a possibility that the solution to the Iran war rests outside of the battlefield-box in a proposal not contingent on the fortunes of the active belligerents.
PROPOSAL
Trump could claim that the US bombing campaign in Iran likely killed Al Qaeda’s global emir Zaidan and this event provides the pretext for the cessation of US involvement in the Iran war …
In support of this claim, Trump could
1. Disclose new evidence of an imminent Al Qaeda and ISIS mass extinction plot that appears causally linked to an enigmatic historical pattern of global conflict catalysts
2. Announce that the Iranian regime has harbored Al Qaeda’s chief
3. Vouch that the US bombings in Iran have likely killed Al Qaeda’s chief
4. Illuminate a specific diplomatic process to defuse the Middle East war nonviolently
5. Declare
a. The termination of US financing and participation in the Iran war
b. An invitation for Pope Leo to consider relocating himself temporarily to Tehran
c. The launch of a peace plan designed by the man who defused the Cold War
If Trump chooses to follow this messaging-intensive diplomatic process, both he and Iran can appear to win without either side having to submit to any political concessions.
