Former Prime Minister David Cameron writes exclusively about his new role as Foreign Secretary

David Cameron, the former Prime Minister, has issued a stark warning that unless Vladimir Putin is stopped in Ukraine, he will be back for more. In an exclusive article for The Sun on Sunday, Cameron reveals his plans to fly to Washington DC next week to advocate for Ukraine, calling the US their "closest and strongest ally."

Debate Over How Much to Help Ukraine Rages in the US

A debate is currently underway in the United States regarding the extent of support that should be provided to Ukraine and for how long. Cameron believes that arguments emphasizing the connection between European and American security and the need to avoid appeasing dictators will ultimately prevail.

Granting of Peerage and Senior Role in Rishi Sunak’s Cabinet

In a surprising turn of events, King Charles granted Cameron a peerage three weeks ago, allowing him to accept a senior role in Rishi Sunak’s Cabinet. Cameron describes the current climate as a time of extreme danger and uncertainty and highlights the need to understand the changing forces shaping the world.

Hope Isn't a Policy

Cameron emphasizes that hoping for a return to the past is futile, as the world has irreversibly changed. He warns that if Putin is not stopped in Ukraine, he will continue his aggression. Cameron draws on historical examples to argue that appeasing dictators ultimately harms British interests and costs British lives.

Conflict in the Middle East and the Need for Strong Defenses

Cameron also stresses the importance of recognizing the impact of conflicts in the Middle East. He notes that these conflicts can destabilize allies, trigger mass migrations, and have significant consequences for Jewish and Muslim populations. He urges the UK to strengthen its defenses, maintain close relationships with existing friends, and establish new alliances.

Unity Between Allies is Key

In conclusion, Cameron believes that if the current moment of danger and insecurity can be turned into an opportunity for unity among allies, there is no reason why they cannot prevail.
