US displaying greater caution in power projection since 2008

The US is moving towards greater realism both about itself and the world and has shown a greater caution in power projection and an effort to correct its over-extension since 2008, external affairs minister S Jaishankar has said while underlining the major trends that have influenced the evolution of the Indian Ocean in recent years.
Speaking at the inaugural session of the 5th Indian Ocean Conference that began here on Saturday, Jaishankar highlighted the changing American strategic posture and the uniqueness of the US polity and its ability to reinvent itself.
