Another Collosal Failure in Leadership...Operation Prosperity Guardian in the Red Sea.

[Missourian]

"WHAT HAS THE UNITED STATES ANNOUNCED?
U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced on Tuesday plans to set up a multinational coalition to safeguard Red Sea shipping called Operation Prosperity Guardian.


During a trip to the Middle East, he said the operations would be joined by Britain, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles and Spain.

On Thursday, Austin said Greece and Australia had also joined the grouping, taking it to a total of 20, but added that at least eight countries taking part have declined to be publicly named."

Within hours Spain, France and Italy announced they would NOT be participating in the US led operation.

The UK is sending one destroyer.

Greece is sending one frigate.

Australia is sending ZERO ships...only a handful of personnel.

Norway is sending TEN naval officers.

The Netherlands is sending TWO naval officer.

Denmark is sending ONE naval officer.

Commentary: What an amazing coalition... Three countries dipped out immediate, two ships and enough personnel to almost full a rural highschool classroom.

You'd almost think these countries do not in any way trust the leadership of a US led operation with Biden and Austin at the helm.

Do ya blame them?

If the Saudis can make peace with the Houthis the situation may change overnight...

P.S. - Strangely, this information doesn't appear in most US media sources of information on Operation Prosperity Guardian.

If you're wondering why, you haven't been paying attention.

I thought everyone knew about it.

 

[Missourian]

Do a search.

This is what Americans are getting...

"The United States has launched Operation Prosperity Guardian, a multinational security initiative led by Combined Task Force 153, in response to Houthi-led attacks on shipping in the Red Sea.012 The initiative aims to unite multiple countries, including the United Kingdom, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles, and Spain, in joint efforts to address security challenges in the region."

You are getting the terrorist spin where you live in Shit-stain-istan.

they may be wondering as i am .....

why don't the most profitable countries in the world pay for security of their own assets?

rhetorical question. these are registered liberian and panamanian ships. why come to the usa for help at all?

 

[Blaster]

Once again the United States does all the heavy lifting.

You know the answer. They're our ships... Their owner reside in first world countries...but outsourced like everything else to avoid paying US taxes, US registration fees, US crews, follow US regulations and inspections and last but not least US environment restrictions.

But they take US money and US defense.

Why so many shipowners find Panama's flag convenient

Panama has just three million people and little history of maritime trade yet paradoxically is home to the world's largest fleet of ships.

Many other countries don't see the conflict over there the way the US government does.

of course i know the answer. the answer is to tell these guys that the ship registration and tax desk is set to accept their applications. the answer is to publish exactly how many billions in tax dollare are spent guarding privately owned oil.

 

[Missourian]

I don't doubt that...but the Secretary of Defense announced these countries had agreed to be part of the coalition...

...only for those countries to announce that was fake news.

It's a failure no matter how you view it.

They also don't trust the pedophile you support.

I don't support tRump, sorry.

 

[luiza]

Well done the Houthi Tooties for running rings around the Child Killers and their craven allies .

As with the Freedom Fighters , this part of the master plan has been years in the making .
Iran and separately the Hezzers have enough missiles and rockets to devastate the Ethnic Cleansers .

This US and Israel False Flag is showing huge weakness with the possibility that it will totally rebound on them .
Well done the Allahu Akbars .

They are part of the coalition. What did you actually expect?

 

[Missourian]

In addition to supporting terrorists, you also cannot comprehend the written form of the English language?

Or did you not bother to read it...so eager were you in your mission to defend more terrorists...

"WHAT ARE OTHER NATIONS SAYING?

- FRANCE

France's Defence Ministry said it supported efforts to secure freedom of navigation in the Red Sea and surrounding area and said it already operated in the region. But it said its ships would stay under French command and did not say if it would deploy more naval forces.

France has a naval base in the United Arab Emirates and 1,500 troops in Djibouti. Its frigate Languedoc is now in the Red Sea.

- ITALY
Italy's Defence Ministry said it would send naval frigate Virginio Fasan to the Red Sea to protect its national interests in response to specific requests made by Italian shipowners.

It said this was part of its existing operations and was not part of Operation Prosperity Guardian.

- SPAIN
Spain's Defence Ministry said it would only participate in NATO-led missions or EU-coordinated operations. "We will not participate unilaterally in the Red Sea operation," it said.

You should start your journey of understanding with reading post #1.

I know. It's a terrible imposition to demand reading beyond the headline...but I have faith in you.
