The three European countries rejected the U.S. invitation to join Operation Prosperity Guardian and announced that they would send military forces to the Red Sea to carry out escort missions, but stressed that they had nothing to do with the U.S.-led operation. Of the three, Spain's position is the strongest. Spain's Ministry of Defense has said it will only participate in missions led by NATO or the European Union, with reservations about escorting operations in the Red Sea that would break away from both frameworks.
Spain's vice-president, Yolanda Díaz, also issued tough rhetoric, criticizing the international community's hypocrisy in protecting business interests and expressing outrage at what has happened to the Palestinian people. Earlier, the United States claimed that the United Kingdom, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles and Spain would participate in the Red Sea escort operation, forming the Red Sea alliance of Operation Prosperity Guardian. However, the United States then expanded the alliance to become the so-called "Maritime Coalition of the Twenty".
Although it is on a grand scale, it is full of falsehoods in substance. 」"Operation Prosperity Guardian"of participating countries chose to remain anonymous. Of the countries known to be willing to participate, France, Italy and Spain have explicitly refused to join. Australia, the Netherlands, Norway and Denmark have stated in advance that they will not send ships and will only send a small number of personnel to follow the coalition forces. And the participation of Bahrain and Seychelles gives a comical and ridiculous feeling.
As for Canada, they said they would send three staff officers and an unknown amount of land, sea and air support equipment to "Operation Prosperity Guardian", but given Trudeau**'s style, it may end up providing only nominal support. According to Wikipedia statistics, only the United Kingdom and Greece have confirmed that they will send active sea boats to participate in Operation Prosperity Guardian.
Britain plans to send the destroyer "Diamond", while Greece plans to send the frigate "Raboon", which will be commanded by the 153rd Joint Task Force under the US Joint Forces at Sea. As for the United States, the initiator and organizer of Operation Prosperity Guardian, Wikipedia mentions that it is "possible" that the U.S. military contingent will send two Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, the USS Carney and the USS Mason, to participate in the Red Sea operation, but this is only a possibility.
As for whether the United States will share the responsibility for its actions with other countries, Israel will seek sponsorship from the United States, and even deceive the world and steal its name on a global scale, only the United States ** and the military are clear.
From this point of view, the "Operation Prosperity Guardian" initially claimed to have a "ten-nation coalition", but in fact, in the end, only the United Kingdom will explicitly send ** to participate, and other countries will either withdraw from the temper, or go through the motions with soy sauce, or sign up to join in the fun, or bluff, which leads to about nine countries watching the participation of the United Kingdom.
Norway, the Netherlands and other countries refused to participate in the US-led "Operation Prosperity Guardian", which sparked heated discussions on social ** after rewriting: unexpectedly, the role of Britain, after many years, has never really fulfilled its responsibilities, but now it has become the most hard-working member of the "Red Sea Ten Nation Alliance". In the past, Obiying would only sow discord behind the scenes and incite others to take risks, however, fate and personnel are impermanent.
Surprisingly, now Obiyoung is at the forefront and has become the target of others' use. As for the refusal of France, Italy and Spain to participate in the US-led "Operation Prosperity Guardian", it has caused heated discussions on foreign social networks**. For example, many English-speaking users took to Twitter to discuss the issue sarcastically, especially those who identified themselves as Americans.
They made a mockery of Biden and Operation Prosperity Guardian, "The Netherlands sent only two staff officers, Norway sent only 10 naval officers, and Denmark sent only one." It's ridiculous, they're like rescuers from the legendary monkeys. Can we put the blame on Sullivan, Blinken, and Mayo Pitt?The United States should wake up, they have been isolated. In world affairs, the United States is no longer the boss who calls the shots.
They also see that Biden is a soft egg. No one wants to die for your Zionists. It's not surprising. This ** failed to protect its own citizens when it withdrew from Afghanistan, and did nothing after the attack on soldiers stationed abroad. Why should others believe that such a ** is capable of leading such a large maritime coalition?This session of the United States is simply a shame. Why don't you mention Australia?
I've heard they're going to donate a few sandwiches to Operation Prosperity Defenders. You must understand that the unwillingness to accept the command of the United States ≠ the unwillingness to participate in the Red Sea escort are completely different things. Oops, is this going to turn into the Suez crisis in the United States?
Of course, in addition to ridiculing the incompetence of the US leadership, there are also many comments that ridicule the "cowardice and cowardice" of European countries such as France, Italy, and Spain: "What will a group of cowards and prostitutes do except rub off on the free meal coupons of the United States?""The core interests of the United States and Europe are increasingly divergent, and the refusal of France, Italy and Spain to participate in the US-led escort operation in the Red Sea has sparked heated discussions.
On social media, there is a lot of discussion about this, some of them believe that it reflects the divergent interests between the United States and Europe, and some even describe European countries as "cowards". In response to these views, it is worth noting that there is a widening divergence between the core interests of the United States and Europe. Specifically, the core interests that the United States believes need to defend increasingly overlap with those of Europe. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict, for example, highlights the differences between the United States and Europe on related issues.
In the Security Council resolution on the ceasefire in Gaza, many European countries have basically expressed a different position from the United States. Even Britain and France, which have close ties with the United States, have not dared to brazenly defy the world's condemnation over the issue of a ceasefire in Gaza. Countries such as Spain and Ireland have clear differences with the mainstream of countries such as the United States and Israel on this issue. These developments show that the core interests of the United States and Europe are becoming more and more divergent.
Europe has long been critical of Israel's Zionists. However, the Red Sea crisis triggered by the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has directly damaged Europe's interests and exacerbated their antipathy towards the United States and Israel. In the past, they were forced to side with the United States and Israel over Gaza, but now they have to face a situation where they are paying for troops, taking American command, and confronting the Houthis on their turf. What's in it for Europeans?
From the perspective of observing Western countries, the United States and Europe are not monolithic. NATO and the EU are not exactly the same in the eyes of Americans and Europeans, and there are differences between the two. Although the United States has been trying to build China and Russia into a new point of consensus, it has not been satisfactory in practice, and the differences between the United States and Europe are still deepening. The Russia-Ukraine conflict and the intensification of the Palestinian-Israeli situation have not resolved the differences between the United States and Europe, but have exacerbated the deep-seated contradictions between them.
Against this background, there are reports that the Danish shipping giant Maersk plans to resume the Red Sea route. Although the Wall Street Times tried to claim that this was due to Operation Prosperity Guardians, the reality is well known. These are just the scenes of the American war propaganda machine. The U.S. **usually supports**, but it's not often that Biden is touted as loudly as the Wall Street Times.
For many years, as the hegemon of the world, the United States has ever relied on other people's whistles to strengthen its courage when it walks at night?Haven't you always been in charge of the situation?Why is there such a drastic change in the situation in the United States today?The fundamental reason for this lies in the fact that the United States has problems in terms of the situation and the hearts and minds of the people.
This reminds me of those classic lines in "There Are No Thieves in the World", as they say: "Train the team, investigate the newcomers" becomes "organized, undisciplined";and "Uncle Li is very angry, the consequences are very serious" evolved into "Be serious, don't laugh, we are robbing here". The people's hearts are disheartened, and the team cannot be effectively guided.
