The EU foreign ministers plan a military mission today to secure the sea routes in the Red Sea, parallel to the Operation Prosperity Guard of the USA and other countries. The mission, in which the frigate “Hessen” is also expected to participate, is likely to be ready for action only at the end of February. Professor Joachim Krause wonders about the rationale of the EU plan.

This content emanates from an expert in the FOCUS online EXPERTS Circle. Our experts possess extensive expertise in their area of expertise and are not part of the editorial team. Learn more.

Is establishing a separate EU maritime security mission in the Red Sea a wise idea?

Essentially, every additional warship in the region is logical, as it can help protect more merchant ships. However, the rationale behind this mission—presumably called Aspis—seems dubious and problematic to me. The idea for this mission emerged from the refusal of several European countries—especially Spain and France—to participate in the American-led Mission Prosperity Guard, which has been securing navigation in the Red Sea since December last year. The justification was that both the presence and the approach of the Americans would contribute to escalating conflicts, especially in the event of attacks on Houthi positions. On the other hand, the EU mission is intended to be purely defensive and contribute to de-escalation.

Who proposed the idea of an EU maritime security mission?

The idea originated from Josep Borrell, the EU’s foreign affairs chief from Spain, whose political judgment I am increasingly doubtful about. This is the same man who recently seriously demanded that the EU should “impose” the two-state solution on Israel, a nuclear power, if necessary. Considering that there has been Palestinian statehood in the Gaza Strip for over 15 years, with its terrorist nature being evident on October 7, 2023, one can only shake their head at this foolish statement. Moreover, European think tanks such as the Italian Institute for International Affairs (IAI) or Chatham House in London, as well as politicians and journalists from Southern European countries, have echoed this sentiment, sparking an unnecessary transatlantic dispute, in my opinion.

About the Expert

Prof. Dr. Joachim Krause is Emeritus Director of the Institute for Security Policy at the University of Kiel and editor-in-chief of SIRIUS. He has worked as a research associate and later as a lecturer. In addition to his academic career, he has participated in international diplomatic missions. His research work is documented in numerous scholarly publications.

What is problematic about the rationale for de-escalation?

I have no objections to approaching such missions with due caution. This is also what the USA did, and the Biden administration hesitated for a long time before taking active measures. However, they concluded that without targeting the Houthi missile bases and weapon depots, this operation would be futile and, above all, extremely costly. The feared escalation has already occurred due to the Houthi attacks on warships. Now, the focus should be on decreasing this escalation. I fail to see how a regional escalation would occur due to the Prosperity Guard protection missions.

The Houthi rebels are stubborn and unyielding, and diplomatic compromisesnicht erreichbar. Sie streben nach der Konfrontation mit dem Westen im Angesicht des Krieges im Gaza-Streifen, um ihre innenpolitische Stabilität zu festigen. Diese Gleichung könnte jedoch scheitern, wenn ihre materielle Grundlage der militärischen Herrschaft zerstört wird. Die Saudis haben dies versucht, aber mit mageren Ergebnissen. Ich denke, die USA können das besser und es ist unvermeidlich, dass sie mit Israel in Verbindung gebracht werden. Es wäre naiv anzunehmen, dass die Huthis die Europäer nicht als Verbündete Israels betrachten und daher deeskalieren, wenn sie europäische Kriegsschiffe im Roten Meer sehen.

Die Grünen werden als Teil der Ampel-Koalition kritisiert. Es gibt derzeit mehrere Vorschläge für künftige Gesetzesvorhaben. Der Wirtschafts- und Sozialforscher Andreas Herteux erläutert, was bislang bekannt ist, und beschäftigt sich mit dem strategischen Vorgehen der Partei für das Jahr 2024.

Derzeit fließen jährlich rund 12 Milliarden Euro aus der Staatskasse in Entwicklungsprojekte weltweit. Der Unternehmer und Investor Martin Limbeck analysiert, warum es höchste Zeit ist, diese Investitionen besser zu planen und die heimische Wirtschaft und Infrastruktur nicht aus dem Blick zu verlieren.

Wer wird sich an der EU-Mission beteiligen?

Wenn es soweit ist, wird diese Mission Ende Februar beginnen. Ich gehe davon aus, dass Frankreich, Italien und Deutschland daran teilnehmen werden. Spanien hat bereits signalisiert, dass es an keiner militärischen Mission beteiligt sein möchte und auf “Diplomatie setzt” – eine Leerformel, die zeigt, dass in Madrid Ideologen an der Macht sind, die ähnlich argumentieren wie Frau Wagenknecht bei uns. Die EU plant, auch weitere Staaten von außerhalb zur Teilnahme an der Mission einzuladen. Ich bin gespannt, wer dazu bereit ist und wer tatsächlich dazu beitragen kann.

Was sind die politischen Konsequenzen der europäischen Politik?

Hier müssen wir die Vor- und Nachteile abwägen. Es wäre sicherlich sinnvoll, mehr Kriegsschiffe in der Region zu haben, idealerweise unter einem einheitlichen Oberkommando der USA. Aber die Befürworter einer europäischen strategischen Autonomie sehen dies als Chance, sich zu profilieren und ein Exempel zu statuieren. Unabhängig davon, wie viele Kriegsschiffe die Europäer letztendlich in die Region schicken und wie viele Angriffe sie (hoffentlich ohne eigene Verluste) abwehren können: Die damit verbundene transatlantische Verstimmung ist offensichtlich und ein weiterer Nagel im Sarg der transatlantischen Gemeinschaft. Wenn das transatlantische Bündnis so geschädigt werden kann, wer braucht dann einen Donald Trump?
