America Destroyed Britain's Empire With Bond Market (Here's How)

Описание: In 1956, Britain had tanks, fighter jets, and nuclear weapons in Egypt. They were winning the war. Then America made one phone call to the bond market. Seventy-two hours later, Britain's currency was collapsing and their empire was finished. Not by bombs. By financial weapons more powerful than any military could ever be.

The Core Truth:
Britain's empire didn't end on a battlefield. It ended in seventy-two hours when America cut off financial support and dumped the pound. Military strength requires economic capacity. Economic capacity requires production, not borrowing. Britain had lost both. The U.S. is following the same path: massive debt, trade deficits, dependence on foreign creditors. The bond market is the ultimate weapon. And once your creditors turn against you, all the bombs in the world won't save your currency.
