All the rhetoric about WWIII aside… Is it possible that the death of Soleimani could be the first step toward establishing a regional peace? Scott Adams explores that possibility.

We at ClashDaily often find Scott’s take on world events fascinating, because they involve some refreshingly out-of-the-box thinking.

And few ideas run more counter to what all the talking heads have been rambling on about than his take on events that are unfolding in Iran and Iraq.

The possibility of a looming war has been discussed again and again. But have you heard much talk about this being a possible path to peace?

We thought not. Here’s Scott in his own words:

I often say that being on the brink of war looks exactly the same as being on the brink of peace. People get creative and flexible when war is on the doorstep. So let’s put a “peace filter” on this and see how it looks…

Next, the Iranian leadership is now thinking about their own mortality in ways they were not a week ago. That has a way of biasing you toward peace.

Iran’s leaders probably need to continue spreading Islamic “revolution” and targeting of Israel and supporting Palestinians no matter what. But could we persuade them to take their “battle” to the Internet and the field of ideas where it belongs?

Does Iran seriously think it can ever “wipe Israel off the map” militarily? I doubt it. And if Iran acts rationally (even if we don’t like it) in coming months, it suggests they do not have a crazy-irrational death cult situation.

This would be a great time to talk about a deal for Israel and the Palestinians — ideally a deal that allows Iran to participate productively.

Yes, we are on the brink of war, and things MIGHT go that way. But keep in mind that we might never again be one person’s decision away from a deal that is spectacular for everyone in the region.

And unlike the LAST guy in the Oval Office, Trump is operating from a position of strength.
