From The Unz Review
Britain’s 1956 financial defeat has traditionally been called its “Suez Moment” revealing to the entire world that Britain no longer existed as a great and independent power. Britain would never again attempt any such bold international action, so the sun had finally set on the last faded residue of the once mighty British Empire.
I think there is a very real possibility that President Donald Trump’s sudden attack against Iran might result in a similar development for our own country.
Without even firing a single shot, China could easily inflict a severe financial and economic defeat upon America. The resulting collapse would probably force our effective political surrender on several different fronts, resulting in a national humiliation every bit as great as that suffered by Britain and its allies seven decades ago.
