Which event was more humiliating for the British?

The fall of Singapore or the Suez crisis.

In the Suez crisis, all America had to do was move numbers around a computer screen and the British economy would have collapsed. Britain as a country would have faced a societal collapse and mass starvation, leading to a famine.

In the fall of Singapore, the British outnumbered the Japanese 5 to 1 yet their forces were destroyed in expeditious manner. Similar to how the Nazis brought France to its knees in just 3 short weeks. Churchill called it the worst military defeat and capitulation ever by the British armed forces.

    In the Suez Crisis, there was no such thing as a computer screen, numbnuts. It was Goddamn 1956, for Christ's sake! The handful of computers in the world had no screens, took up entire buildings, and eked out less computing power than a digital watch.
