Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Should
America continue to be a world leader?
Indeed,
America’s influence over other part of the world seems to have been declining. Is
that because of the leadership or public opinion of the country, or the rise of
another superpower?
Actually,
influence can be influenced various factors such as military, economy,
geopolitics, financial or humanitarian aid, natural resources and diplomacy. Ever
since the last world war ended, the U.S.A. had been undoubtedly the world most
powerful and influential state. But the world has observed a steady decline of
the influence particularly in this decade, when the US withdrew its direct
military presence from Iraq and Afghanistan while Islamic State has spread
around the Levant. Also in the South China Sea, rising China has increased its military
presence in the region and pressure to the neighboring countries. US military
is still deployed and is committed to secure peace in the region and to its
allies but how long and how much?
Enjoy
reading and thinking what role the US can and is willing to take in the world.
