So, there’s a new President-elect.

The easy thing would be say, “Watch how he engages Iran (or North Korea)” as the indicator of where we are going as a nation.

Nah. That’s too easy.

Watch how he handles Syria. Iran and North Korea — those are both already boiling. Those are the obvious and easy ones to deal with. Those are, as we say, 5 meter targets. Greatness will be found in building a solid relationship with Syria, as Syria has a finger in both Lebanon and Iraq.

If he gets picked up for a second term, watch for his engagement with India or China. I don’t think it’ll be both — but I could be wrong. India would be easier, but China would be a wise long term investment.
