I don't know what the president has in mind - I hope there is room for some change. I hope that a sensible compassionate strategy will begin to flourish, where long-term goals are achieved using long-term efforts.
As I see it, the World-order remains as it was, WASP, Britain, USA, Canada, Australia and New-Zealand - continuing to work together to civilise the world, in the same way the old British empire tried to under various Kings and Queens.
The difference is that now, the sharpest weapons are investment, economics, trade and public opinion. Failing to use these techniques, and choosing to use blunt Millitary ones is a mistake and will ultimately proove counter productive.
Just my 2 cents.
