When Croesus, the King of Lydia, went to the Oracle of Delphi and asked if he could win a war against Persia, the Delphic priestess replied that when he went to war, he would destroy an empire. By the Oracle words, Croesus became convinced that it was written in the stars that he would destroy the Persian empire. He went to war, but his army was vanquished at the battlefield and the empire that was destroyed was his own. Coming to our own time, the Oracle of Delphi has predicted that an empire will be destroyed if there is a military conflict between America and China. But which empire will be destroyed: the American empire or the Chinese?
