🇪🇺🛳 EU Set To Flex Red Sea Muscles With Aspides Mission

Brussels’ Italian-, French- and Greek-led ‘defensive’ mission to protect merchant ships in the area is set to begin on Monday 19 February, according to Italian media.

At least 3 Italian ships, as well as intelligence and logistical support units will be joined by the German frigate Hessen and based out of the Greek air base in Larissa, according to multiple media.

The French FREMM frigate Languedoc and the Danish Iver Huitfeldt, will also participate.

The move comes 2 months after the US’ Prosperity Guardian mission, which saw various allies quit, with Paris refusing because they did not want a mission under American command.

Ukrainians get to die for the "security" of people thousands of miles away. They must be so proud.
