Brussels wants to launch a bespoke EU mission to protect commercial vessels in the Red Sea from attacks by Iran-backed Houthi rebels.

In a document dated January 10 and seen by Euronews, the EU’s diplomatic service proposes sending "at least three" warships with "multi mission capabilities" to the region as early as next month.

The document recommends the "fast-tracking implementation" of an operation mandated to act "from the Red Sea to the Gulf," in order to protect maritime security in a region plagued by instability in recent weeks.

The ship owners don't want safety, or at least they don't want to pay for it. Let them suffer.

The ship owners (the company owners) are more than likely not on that ship. It's just regular workers.

There's no way to "let them rot" without risking the lives of the people on the ship.

I get that Lemmy has a very diehard "eat the rich" stance, and I do too, but make sure it's directed at the correct people.
