New Zealand is deploying a six-member Defence Force team to the Middle East region to uphold maritime security in the Red Sea, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says.
“Houthi attacks against commercial and naval shipping are illegal, unacceptable and profoundly destabilising.
“This deployment, as part of an international coalition, is a continuation of New Zealand’s long history of defending freedom of navigation both in the Middle East and closer to home.”
The team will contribute to the collective self-defence of ships in the Middle East, in accordance with international law, from operational headquarters in the region and elsewhere. No NZDF personnel will enter Yemen. It is part of a continuous New Zealand defence contribution to maritime security in the Middle East since 2013.
Foreign Minister Winston Peters says the strikes being carried out by the international coalition are against Houthi military targets which have played a role in attacking commercial and naval vessels.
“These efforts support international security and the free flow of trade on which New Zealanders rely,” Mr Peters says.
Defence Minister Judith Collins says the Houthi attacks show a disregard for international law, peace and stability, and the coalition response is an inevitable consequence of their actions.
“Our NZDF personnel are highly trained and this deployment will see them work alongside their counterparts on an important mission. New Zealand supports global stability and this deployment shows our commitment to efforts to address a serious threat to that stability.”
Mr Peters says New Zealand’s actions to uphold maritime security in the Red Sea should not be conflated with its position on the Israel-Gaza conflict.
“Any suggestion our ongoing support for maritime security in the Middle East is connected to recent developments in Israel and the Gaza Strip, is wrong. We are contributing to this military action for the same reason New Zealand has sent defence personnel to the Middle East for decades – we care deeply about regional security because our economic and strategic interests depend on it.”
The deployment is mandated to conclude no later than 31 July 2024.
And we will count these mercenaries one by one as they return in a separate coffins. Just like ones “helping” Ukraine.
“THEY” want war…
Almost all of our trade flows via the Pacific and the Tasman.
Products from Europe account for about 22%, and exports to Europe from New Zealand is about 28%-31% at any given time.
About half of that gets delivered to Europe by cargo aircraft with refrigeration and aeriated tanks from New Zealand ie; fresh Paua, Crayfish, Bluff Oysters, Dairy products, and fresh Beef & Lamb,..everyone gets the picture here.
Hence, the most profitable products from NZ are the latter items, and that excludes any Red Sea and Suez Canal involvement.
The same applies for high-end items from Europe, with the upmarket food items and accessories also being flown-in.
Of course ‘THEY want war. When the money goes south, the violence turns east.
We DO NOT NEED to be involved in the Israeli-led and U.S.-supported genocide that has been occurring in the Middle East, specifically Palestine at this time.
If anything, we should be condemning the Israeli Government, the IDF, and their supportive ilk in the U.S. where the Biden Cabinet is J***** and criminally-compromised!
We should demand a guilty verdict from the International Criminal Court, and the International Court of Justice based on the fact that Israel is a criminal, terrorist state and has been since 1948.
The Balfour Declaration hasn’t even been codified properly, and had no weight based on the fact that it advocated for encroaching on sovereign Palestinian territory, which in terms of International Law is totally illegal since the Palestinians never voted on it in 1924.
The arrogance of Judaism is that it never held to account for the Gentile & Goyim laws that they violate with extreme psychopathic vigor. Normal laws do not apply to them; only Noahide Laws and Talmudic discourse. THAT explains the state of political, social, economic and religious decaying rot that we are now seeing.
The sooner that the ‘State of Israel’ is routed from Palestinian land, the better! And THAT may happen sooner than later.
Noteworthy is that many opinion pieces noted both here, on other Alternative News Commentary is that Israel should be moved to Siberia, and set-up only as a J***** Colony with the monetary aspects strictly controlled by Russia. Doing so would remove ‘Zionist Influences’ on a global basis, and eliminate Bankster Wars, the control of public money and funds that tie directly thru Tel Aviv, and revive world peace on non-Zionist terms.
Our primary trading partners are China and Australia, and sending 6 members of the NZDF has ill-effects on the outcome that will see Israel collapse (and taking the global economies with it…) , and it signals support for those who are directly and indirectly committing War Crimes, Genocide, Human Rights Violations, Holodomor and violations of the Geneva Convention.
It would NOT take much to anger Russia & China if New Zealand opted to lean towards the support of Israel and the Zionist government of Ukraine, and it’s western hosts that parasitic nation of Israel survives on.
We DO NOT NEED a Chinese or Russian submarine cruising our waters, or sitting on the sea floor waiting for a launch code; neither do we need a Russian Poseidon intercontinental nuclear powered and armed torpedo that parks itself anonymously off of a potential enemy’s coastline.
Russia has already threatened the UK with this autonomous weapon…
Kwajalein Atoll was today swamped by two large waves. They say it was a weather related event that had several combined factors, but just two days ago North Korea announced a new underwater nuclear device that would generate radioactive tsunamis when detonated underwater.
Maybe they tested this new weapon near the US Territory of the Marshall Islands…and the PTB will not acknowledge that!
Based on the recent whale strandings of two different species (either by magnetic field disruptions / solar storms), it seemed as though their behaviours were the result of being panicked by something out of the ordinary (an underwater nuke being detonate???)
Given the times that we are in, nothing would be surprising, and should be fully expected.
No one in New Zealand has voted to support the Genocide, Holodomor, and War Crimes in Palestine being committed by the IDF and it’s suppliers of death.
We as a nation should condemn these ideas, actions, and behind-the-scenes J***** / Zionist influences that are attempting to steer us into World War Three, and call out those WEF / WHO / NWO Globalists who are destroying our societies, wealth and planet via Chemtrails, CO2 being pumped into underground storage fissures, contaminating the fresh water and the ocean fishing grounds, End-Gaming our diets with GMO, forcing untested vaccines on the population, and entertaining the total thought of AI / CBDC’s and DEI on us all!
This current government is aware of the proposed need to become a ‘Nation of Armed Neutrality’. Part of that is re-equipping the population with firearms that are used to defend this nation which are currently banned.
To date, not one member of Parliament seems to even be aware of the dangers we all now face, and will do even less to insure our security.
Until the Global Zionist influences and their policies are laid bare here in New Zealand, and the political leeches, lampreys, pig and toads who have been allowed this to ruin this country via intimidation of the citizenry using biased court proceedings, ‘anti-semitism’, ‘hate speech’ and ‘wokness’ .
Until this is stopped, we may all end up paying a high price for the very few.
And…THEY don’t give a s*** if you live, preferring that we all die for the (their) ‘Planetary Good’.
You okay bro?
…Perfectly fine: clear in thought, conscience and situational awareness!
Thanks for asking. (Too bad that the Politicians never ask…too busy hob-nobbing with the WEF / WHO / NWO ‘Players, Stakeholders, Plank Owners and of course…Parliamentary shoplifters!)
Agree with every sentence you have written.
Houthis began by attacking only Israeli owned/connected ships, then extended that to the US ships after the US bombed Yemen so if NZ enters the fray that will ensure our shipping will be targetted also. If three little islands on the edge of the Southern Ocean suddenly disappear in a mushroom cloud it will mean nothing to the world. Be nervous if all politicians and the so called Schwabian ‘stakeholders’ are out of the country on the same day. These people are very aware of what they are doing. They think they are protected by being ‘the in group’ and have been promised a place at the high table if they follow orders. They are quite correct in their assumption that the common people are stupid.
We should have stayed neutral.
There is already a Jewish Oblast in Russia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birobidzhan but that means nothing to globalists who want a One World Government with a one world mind control religion combining Islam/Judaism/Christianity administered from Jerusalem. The fat little Jesuit in Rome is a whole hearted promoter of this plan.
The war in Ukraine is also connected https://www.historytoday.com/archive/feature/khazaria-forgotten-jewish-empire. Most of the jews living in Israel have no semitic blood at all. They are Khazarian converts.
The truth of today rests in the history of Sumeria.
“Any suggestion our ongoing support for maritime security in the Middle East is connected to recent developments in Israel and the Gaza Strip, is wrong.”
That’s an odd thing to say out of the blue 🙂🤔
Presence
I would rather have a little higher prices, not that much of our trade goes through there anyhow, than side with the genocide.
24 IDF soldiers attempting to demolish residential buildings were killed when the explosives they were setting were detonated due to an explosion from a Hamas fighter. I sure hope it wasn’t any of the many posting videos gloating about demolishing civilian structures.
“New Zealand supports global stability and this deployment shows our commitment to efforts to address a serious threat to that stability.”
Pull the other one Winnie. If you cared about stability you would have made clear to Israel they are de-stabilizing the entire region.
