In Syria, the Obama administration stubbornly supports a regime change by keeping the oppositions breathing in a pro-longed civil war that has displaced many millions of Syrians who are flocking into Europe and other parts of the world.
Obama's pivot-to-Asia has also churned up the waters in the Asia Pacific. Washington's interventionist engagement into many of the region' s maritime spats has one simple purpose: to keep regional countries divided and distracted and to keep its supremacy in the region unchallenged.
Yet the execution of this very doctrine has deepened mutual suspicion between Beijing and Washington and could potentially destabilize the whole region.
While campaigning for presidency, Trump has proposed numerous jaw-dropping political and economic ideas to tackle world affairs. Although the "America-first" approach should be altered, his isolationist and anti-free trade approach is certainly not a blessing for the international community at this critical moment.
As president, he should come around to help boost slack global trade growth, not counter it. Being a successful business man, he is no way a stranger to the kind of benefits a robust trade transaction can bring to his country and the wider world.
However, he should treat trade as what it is, a key booster of global economic growth, not a geo-political weapon. The near-death and high-rise unpopularity of the Trans-Pacific Partnership have proved not the death of free trade but rather the outcry for more inclusive trade arrangements, both local and global.
