I think this has been 10 years - 15 years even - in the making. Iraq seems to have destroyed America's confidence on the world stage and each subsequent President after Bush has been increasingly isolationist as has the American public. Even now the sentiment in America seems to be 'why is this anything to do with us?'. There is even a ******* on Fox News having a go at what actions the American Government is taking because Putin is not their problem.

People have long had a go at America being the 'world police' but in the absence of any police then thugs and gangsters seize the opportunity.

As for Britain we, and other European NATO nations, need to wake up and take more of this responsibility on for ourselves rather than look to America.
