Are you asking me what would fix the middle east? lol who knows, breaking it up into a bunch of smaller states?
I think every administration has successes, but none of them are completely successful obviously. Obama has the Iran deal, but he also has a misguided minimalism in the middle east which, while sounding ideal in the election cycle and was popular, came at a critical time for the region and wasn't really adjusted. Then when it was, it was done on a minor scale and too late. Also an announced policy of what is effectively Chinese containment in Asia, which stalled, and now the Chinese will react as expected by being more suspicious and aggressive.
Great guy, good president, not great foreign policy.
