Obama on Friday began a four day visit to Great Britain. Great Britain would like to leave the EU because it doesn't like sharing sovereignty with the rest of Europe and the United States wouldn't understand their concern. Obama responds saying that the U.S. faces the same challenges as Great Britain and Europe needs to stay collective to fight those challenges. The EU faces security threats and economic turbulence that require greater cooperation and unity. This includes the Paris and Belgium attacks, War in Syria, and Russian-backed aggression in the Ukraine that spotlight shortcomings in gathering and sharing of intelligence. Obama's four days of meetings should provide a greater sense of unraveling of the European project.
