Recently, the United StatesNavyAn escort operation, codenamed "Prosperity Guardian", was launched to protect ships transiting the Red Sea. However, the plan faced some serious difficulties. First, many countries that were supposed to be involved chose not to participate, resulting in a much lower number of countries participating in the program than initially anticipated. Secondly, the United StatesNavyand originally expressed that they wanted to participateFrench NavyThere was an altercation, and there were even rumorsFrench NavyYou may want to withdraw from the program. The news raised questions about the strength and effectiveness of the escort operation.
Faced with these dilemmas, the United StatesNavyIt is hoped that a multinational force will be formed to jointly command and carry out escort missions in the Red Sea. However, the reality is that only about 10 countries have clearly expressed their willingness to participate, far below the number expected by US Secretary of Defense Austin. Three of them, Spain, Italy and Australia, have made it clear that they are not willing to participate, which is surprising. And for those countries that choose to participate, each has its own calculations in their hearts, and how to maximize their interests in this Red Sea escort has become the focus of their attention.
In the course of the consultations between the United States and France, the two countriesNavyThere was an altercation, which led to the breakdown of the negotiations. According to one scholar, the most likely reason for this is that the United States and France have differences in command. Austin's planning, the United StatesNavyCommand and leadership of convoy operations will be fully responsible, with other countries playing only a supporting role. This pattern letsFrench NavyDissatisfied, after all, they are one of the main forces, but there is no in this planThe right to speakFrench NavyHope there are moreThe right to speak, capable of acting independently in an emergency, and not completely dependent on the United StatesNavyof instructions.
This competition for command also affects the decision-making of other participating countries. Each country wants to be able to assert its interests in the Red Sea escort, and not be completely subordinated to the will of the United States. As a result, countries are concerned about maximizing their own interests, and it is difficult to agree on a consistent command system and plan of action. In this case, it is obvious that the implementation and effectiveness of the Red Sea escort plan will be greatly affected.
In addition to the issue of command, the United States and France also have differences over the scope of the escort. According to the exposed,French Navywants to prioritize the safety of its own ships, and the United StatesNavymay be more inclined to protect their own ships. This divide has further widened the United States and FranceNavycontradictions and difficulties in the possibility of cooperation. Other countries will have similar problems, and it will be difficult for them to achieve true cooperation by weighing their interests.
Based on the above, the Red Sea escort plan may reach an impasse. The lack of participation and the existence of command disputes make the implementation of this plan a serious challenge. If the parties concerned fail to resolve their differences and make adjustments and compromises in due course, the effectiveness and security of escorts in the Red Sea may be greatly reduced.
The dilemma of the Red Sea escort program reflectsInternationalCollaboration is complex and challenging. In the process of cooperation, there are often conflicts of interest and power struggles between countries. In this particular case, command became the main point of contention, and countries wanted to be able to maintain a certain degree of independence and independence in their operationsThe right to speak
However,InternationalThe importance of cooperation cannot be overlooked. Escort such in the Red SeaInternationalIn the task of sexuality, it is difficult for any one country to really solve the problem alone. Better results can only be achieved through cooperation, joint development of action plans and close coordination in the implementation process. Therefore, all parties should sit down, strengthen communication, properly resolve differences, and promote the smooth progress of this plan.
At the same time, for participants, it is necessary to fully consider the overall interests and pursue win-win cooperation. InInternationalNo country is immune to global challenges and threats only through cooperation. It is hoped that in future cooperation, all countries can be more rational and pragmatic, and jointly safeguard regional peace and security on the basis of cooperation. In this way, it is possible for the Red Sea escort program to truly play its due role, protect the safety of ships, and promote global prosperity.
