Washington Post: The antidote to Brexit – a strong NATO
British Prime Minister David Cameron speaks to the press in front of 10 Downing street in central London on June 24, 2016.
Under David Cameron's leadership, Britain's importance as a U.S. ally has steadily diminished. His government was slow in joining the campaign against the Islamic State and has played no significant role in resisting Russian aggression in Ukraine. Following a rebuff by Parliament, Mr. Cameron retreated from airstrikes against Syria in 2013, prompting a climbdown by President Obama that has had disastrous consequences. Mr. Cameron's most notable foreign policy initiative was his craven courtship of Chinese dictator Xi Jinping in the hope of reaping commercial advantage.
