While it's a possibility that the saying "The red cross is finished" pertains to the Red Cross organization(Which would seem to imply some sort of scandal or financial issue), I don't get the vibe that's the reference. I think it means a country. My first thought was Switzerland. Then I decided to check what other nations have flags with red crosses on them.
Flags with red crosses
Turns out I had the Swiss flag's colors reversed. There's a whole history about how the Red Cross organization chose their flag-a red cross on a white field-based on the Swiss flag's white cross on a red field.
But one flag with a prominent red cross is the Union Jack, the flag of the UK.
