Europe
is caught in its greatest crisis since the Second World War. The
catalog of ills seems endless: an economic crisis spread through most of
Europe’s Mediterranean tier that has crippled Greece and driven a wedge
between northern and southern Europe; terrorist attacks in Paris,
Cologne, Brussels, and Nice; growing aggression from Russia in Ukraine
and the Baltic states; and refugees escaping war-torn neighbors. The
European Union’s inability to handle any of these disasters was a
driving factor in Great Britain voting to leave, and others may soon
follow. The result won’t just be a continent in turmoil, but also a
serious threat to American and British security-the Atlantic, let alone
the Channel, simply isn’t big enough to keep European troubles in
Europe. For everyone’s sake, Europe must survive
