There seems to be no prospects of a major breakthrough insofar as the ongoing Middle East conflict is concerned. Essentially, the solution rests with only one person: Donald J. Trump, the President of the USA.
Susan Watkins, who writes and lectures regularly on English social history in the UK and abroad, as well as making guest appearances on radio and television, seems to have raised a genuinely profound question to sum up the entire global situation, which, in my view, is strongly characterized by fear, anxiety, hopelessness, and uncertainty.
Watkins has raised her question in a write-up titled “Trump Abroad” for New Left Review. She has asked: “In which direction is America heading, amid the strategic cacophony of Trump’s second term—counter-revolution in the Caribbean, onslaught on Iran, somersaults on China?”
