PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rex Tillerson ? There's no guarantee that his successor will play well with others  hand-hold the allies rather than throw bombs at them or elevate diplomacy  engagement and dialogue with difficult countries rather than adopt confrontational policies that offer little prospect for success but significant risks of escalation. For all those who hope to wish Tillerson an early and happy retirement  be careful what you wish for    especially if  his  successor is more ideological and combative and less pragmatic than the more even-keeled Tillerson.

SOLUTION:
Positive
