Does it means that a new front will be open up for war in Middle East?

And another front open up in Asia Pacific?

Suddenly 2 hotspots ignited?

Some of those “dangerous possibilities” were addressed by the panel, which included Singapore Ambassador-at-Large Chan Heng Chee, Dr Ooi Kee Beng, deputy director of the ISEAS Yusof Ishak Institute, and Dr Li Nan, senior research fellow at the East Asian Institute.

One is the situation in the South China Sea, and the growing nervousness in the US-China relationship since Mr Trump’s victory.

The possibility of a serious misstep is a real worry, said Dr Jayakumar. “With a hawkish and, by and large, untested (Trump administration) team, you can foresee a situation where a few months in, or a year into a Trump presidency, there is a grave tactical miscalculation on either side.”
