Hold it.

It's the party founded by Chiang Kai-shek.

It's the KMT.

When I believe was Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal against the British and said, we are going to take this and we are going to have control of this canal.

Now, again, the key maritime choke point, the British came in, they went to force it back open.

The U.S.

said, no, we're not going to get involved.
