Even before reading this story (“Iran may be where the US-led world order ends”), whose headline I first noticed at Drudge (of course), the history-buff in me was thinking of the Suez Crisis (really) and how that joint European-Israeli strike in 1956 broke the world-order back of the U.K. and France. Now we have it sort of in reverse: how the current joint U.S.-Israeli war against Iran is breaking the world-order leadership back of the U.S. … Think about it: not one of our European allies is offering to help the U.S. in the Strait of Hormuz. Can you blame them after the way Trump has trashed them? The U.S. didn’t even consult them prior to our Iran strike, just as the U.K. and France didn’t consult the U.S. before their attack on Egypt in 1956.
