The Brits are past-masters at Obama’s strategy of “Leading from Behind”. Who can blame them? They were bled dry in 2 world wars and fought alone from May 1940 until the North Africa landings in 1942. And back then they could call on troops from Canada, India, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, west Africa... I don’t think very many of those (now) commonwealth countries would pickup the courtesy phone today.

They fought alone for the same reason we fought the Indian Wars and the Mexican-American Wars alone. These were their wars fought against a nearby enemy. The jujitsu they managed by maligning us for not being in their war from the beginning is rank ingratitude combined with sanctimony. It makes the postwar American drive to break up the British empire completely understandable, although still a big mistake.
