Shock in Europe! Russian army in Libya

The #Russian army has transferred all their equipment from #Syria to #Libya, in the eastern part controlled by General Haftar and by them. This includes the advanced missiles, fighter jets, warships, submarines and surveillance means.

This is a shock to# Europe, as the Russians will now militarily threaten Italy, Greece, Spain and other countries. It is also a shock to the Sultan, who supports the opposing forces in "Libya", who sees the move as a threat. For #Israel, it will now be much calmer. Bye, bye to the circus that ended in disgrace which ends half a century of support for the Assad family's criminal gang, allowing Iran to use it against Israel.

Which Middle East country is guilty of all this?

President of #Cyprus, Nicos #Anastasiades at the UN General Assembly "way back" in 2021 already pointed the finger at Erdogan's Turkey which today is taking Iran's place of the world tyrant.

Which country occupies Cyprus?
Which country invaded Syria?
Which country violates Iraq’s sovereignty?
Which country intervened in Libya?
Which country violates the sovereign rights of Greece?

... #Turkey!

20-Plus Countries Have Joined U.S.-Led Red Sea Coalition, Pentagon Asserts

More than 20 countries have signed on to join a U.S.-led naval coalition tasked with protecting Red Sea maritime traffic from attacks by Yemen’s Houthi militia, according to the U.S. Defense Department.

“We’ve had over 20 nations now sign on to participate,” Pentagon spokesman Pat Ryder said at a Dec. 21 press briefing. “The nations that have agreed to publicly discuss their participation, we’ve put those out there,” he told reporters. “We’ll allow other countries and defer to them to talk about their participation,” Mr. Ryder added.

Earlier this week, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced the launch of the multinational coalition, dubbed “Operation Prosperity Guardian.”

The operation’s stated aim is to protect Red Sea traffic from attacks by the Shiite Houthi militia, which overran much of Yemen—including the capital Sanaa—in 2014.
In announcing the launch of the coalition, Mr. Austin listed its members as the UK, Canada, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Norway, Bahrain, and Seychelles.

In his remarks on Dec. 21, Mr. Ryder said Australia and Greece had also “highlighted their participation in this operation.”
