How will the world deal with the turbulence ahead?

The world’s most recognised international organisation the United Nations has just appointed António Guterres, the ninth Secretary-General who took office on January 1, 2017. Guterres is yet to make his maiden international trip and already there is exchange of missiles and verbal warnings across nuclear powers.

The world’s economic superpower United States of America has recently appointed a new Chief Executive Officer in Donald Trump who has no background in diplomacy and politics. The man has already tested his arsenal by firing 59 missiles into Syria, in a conflict that has been going on for the last six years. The missile attack has not amused Syria’s allies, Russia and Iran, who have made a promise that any further US missile strikes will be responded to with equal amount of force.
