After overextending itself in the Middle East for a decade, the United States is now resolved to avoid wars that never end.
As the world's most powerful nation relinquishes its role as global policeman, other countries will step in to stabilize crises that directly threaten their interests. France, for example, has taken the lead in Mali. With Europe enmeshed in a financial fiasco, Paris can't allow North African jihadists to threaten its energy investments and other assets in the region.
Which other nations will risk military overextension by protecting their interests, now that the U.S. will not do so on their behalf? Subscribe to Stratfor to understand the real implications of this shift in U.S. foreign policy.
