Is this America’s Suez?

An interesting historical perspective on the similarities (and differences) between the Israeli-British-French adventures in Suez with the Israeli-US debacle in Iran. Pyrrhic victories both? Just because Ferguson is generally a prat doesn't mean the history is incorrect.

First Crisis was 4 years. Second Crisis was 8 years. 12 years blockade is just the right length of time this time. Funny how the math actually fits everything.

83729430000 / 20463721 ~= 11 years 75 days.

This is how humanity beat the shit out of pathetic demons.

If #Trump is apoplectic with rage over the closure of the #StraitOfHormuz, wait until #Iran closes #BabElMandeb — gateway from #Suez to #HornOfAfrica — with the help of the #Houthis in #Yemen.

Trump has stirred up a hornet's nest, and it's going to sting.

A lot.

Suez e Ormuz: semelhanças nas crises de dominação, por Valentin Katasonov

Sinais do fim da Pax Americana se aproximando? Já vinham se acumulando nos últimos tempos algumas análises que mostravam semelhanças entre a situação da crise do Canal de Suez, ocorrida em meados da década de 50 do século XX, e o conflito no Estreito de Ormuz, que presenciamos agora em 2026. As semelhanças, no caso, […]

2021 Suez Canal obstruction - Wikipedia

@juergen_hubert last time an empire ( #britain ) engaged in a military operation, involving paratroopers to take control over a waterway in the middle east (#egypt , #SuezCanal crisis), locals in cities of #portsaid and #suez would attack paratroopers with pots and kitchen knives before they even reach the ground.

Ishaan Tharoor considers whether the Suez Canal crisis of 1956, in which Egypt achieved a strategic victory over a British-French-Israeli coalition, parallels the possible fallout from Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz.

Analysis: "Suez was the death knell for the British empire. Hormuz may do the same for the US."

It "risks repeating the 1956 Suez crisis, which hastened the end of sterling as a global reserve currency & forced imperial retreat".

"Empires decline when their military reach outpaces their political strategy..their economic foundations weaken..

.."& when the people they seek to dominate endure long enough to outlast their overwhelming force."
