Let me guess, are you about 40?

Personally I think it was rebelling against the crown to genocide more natives that was the first we are 100% the baddies moment for Amerikkka. If you want a more recent examples of the USA just leaning in to it, there is the public response to the My Lai massacre perpetrators facing any justice. America has coincidentally been on the right side of only one war afaik.

Spain, Italy, France Decline US Command Of Red Sea Operation Prosperity Guardian
Reuters
4�5 minutes
by Dmitry Zhdannikov (Reuters)

The United States is assembling a multinational naval coalition to help safeguard commercial traffic from attacks by Yemen�s Houthi movement. On Thursday, the Pentagon said more than 20 countries had now agreed to participate in the group, known as Operation Prosperity Guardian.

Some countries have not confirmed their participation, however, while others have said their efforts to help protect Red Sea commercial traffic will be as part of existing naval agreements rather than the new U.S.-led operation.

The lack of details and clarity over what countries are doing has added to confusion for shipping companies, some of which have been re-routing vessels away from the area after the attacks, which the Houthis say are a response to Israel�s assault on the Gaza Strip.

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.

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.
� BRITAIN

Britain said destroyer HMS Diamond would join Operation Prosperity Guardian. Britain�s defense ministry said the coalition would operate as part of the U.S.-led CMF.
� GREECE

Greece said on Thursday it would send a naval frigate to the Red Sea and that it would participate in Operation Prosperity Guardian.
� OTHER COUNTRIES

The Netherlands said it would send two staff officers and Norway said it would send 10 naval officers to Bahrain, the headquarters of CMF. Denmark said on Wednesday that it would take part in the operation, sending one officer.

WHAT EXISTING NAVAL COALITIONS OPERATE IN THE AREA?

Several navies are already part of international operations to protect shipping lanes in the region, including protecting vessels from pirates who for several years disrupted shipping off the coast of Somalia.
The missions include:

� Operation Atalanta, set up by European Union Naval Force Somalia (EUNAVFOR), operates off the Horn of Africa and in the Western Indian Ocean to support U.N. resolutions to protect the seas from piracy. Its headquarters is in Spain.

� Operation Agenor is a European-led operation which aims to guarantee freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, a major shipping lane for oil exports from Gulf states.

� Combined Maritime Forces (CMF) is a multinational maritime partnership led by the U.S. from Bahrain, the based for the U.S. Navy Fifth Fleet. CMF has 39 members, including NATO and European states, regional countries and other nations. One of its missions is the Combined Task Force 153 (CTF 153), which operates in the Red Sea.

Pretty sure that was the other way around. The anti-slave trade laws were just an economic sanction now that Britain wouldn't profit directly from the work after independence. Didn't actually stop them using slaves or kidnapping Pacific Islanders to work as slaves in Australia. As hosed as America is, they learnt it all from Britain and other European powers.

In 1998, Levi wrote to the Taliban interior minister to accuse Simentov of theft of Jewish relics. Simentov retorted by telling the Taliban that Levi ran a secret brothel where he sold alcohol, which Levi denies. Simentov also spread rumors that Levi had converted to Islam, which Levi denied as well.

quote:

When he returned, Simentov encountered Yitzhak Levi, nearly two decades his senior, living at the Kabul synagogue. The two did not hit it off: They �fought viciously about which of them was the rightful owner of the land,� according to a 2017 Jewish Telegraphic Agency profile of Simentov. They moved into different wings of the synagogue.

Probably referring to the Proclamation of 1763. After the 7 years/French and Indian War, King Georgie didn't want the colonists to gently caress around west of the Appilations because the crown just spent a bunch fighting in the colonies and didn't want to spend more pounds sterling bailing out a bunch of Pennsylvania fuckers who pissed off the Choctaw or whatever.

Naturally us ignorant colonials took this as a tyrannical abrogation of our divine right to free real estate.
