Afghanistan withdrawal was our Suez Canal moment. Change my mind.

I'll try. The Suez Canal crisis occurred following the Wars of English Succession (World Wars I and II), when the United States had already replaced the British Empire as the world's superpower. The War of American Succession (World War III) has not happened yet. For the United States, the Afghanistan War is probably more similar to the Boer Wars, the beginning of the end of the great empire. Our Suez Canal momemt, final capitulation, will come later.
