No, Italy's interest aren't NATO interest and NATO's interests haven't aligned for a decade by now, but Washington everchanging lackeys in Rome still go ahead. Matter of fact Berlusconi political demise was a joint EU-US scheme because of various disagreements he had over foreign policy. No Berlusconi, more migrants than ever.
Great, Italian corruptocrats have arranged a demographic dead hand weapon if it's how you put it, people like that have to go.
No, the Ukraine net contribution to Italy commercially and other has been zero except for its arms industry, which doesn't even cover 1% of jobs in Italy and they have flooded the market with barely edible wheat and grain. Russia on the other hand contributed to a lot of our economy before 2022 and where a better alternative than US gas.
Ukraine's existence as a sovereign, not Russian dominated state is of massive importance to all of its western/southwestern neighbors. I know Italy is not one of them, but if you insist so much about ignoring those, why are you still in NATO and EU.
On the other hand, if you were not in NATO and EU, and tried to be buddies with Russia "over the heads" of such neighbors, such commercial relations would likely have their transfer routes blocked by those nations whose interests you so explicitly want to ignore, so you may be getting even less Russian gas than otherwise in such a scenario.
EU has done nothing but exacerbate the problem created by interventions in Libya and Syria, which were NATO-led just as much as the Ukraine.
The problem is in Brussels, Berlin and Paris, not in Libya, Syria, or even the places where most of the migrants originally come from now.
The Germans and the French political class wants us to be their migrant camp.
They have plenty of migrant camps of their own, even in their own major cities, do not ascribe to malicious competence what can be explained by leftist retardation.
We deserve it to handle ourselves , but our politicians didn't let us, because they take orders from Paris, DC and Berlin, we got sabotaged and criticized by other EU members and they protected their own migrant hippies . So the EU and NATO can collapse for all I care.
Yeah, sure, better blame others than realize that the whole Europe has a massive leftist infestation, and you're not excepted at all.
That was the status quo, which many in Italy, especially Eurosceptics conservatives anti-mainstream, want to return to. And I will be glad if it will.
Well the status quo changed, even Germans had to terminate their shady deals with Russia, and if things got so tense that even the big honchos of the EU had to take a step back, who are you to protest.
And when shady deals get terminated, so do pipelines, whichever side insisted on making that point.
So much for your shady deals.
Appreciate the long distance questionable trade deals that organizations like the EU, WTO and other globalist institutions enable while you can, because they would be much less likely to exist in the first place without the "international order" that the countries you shit on established for the sake of making trade easier.
The alternative is not pie in the sky and rivers of milk, it is what was before - more medieval style trade with most long routes being risky or taxed badly by all countries on the way. So be careful what you wish for, you may vote it in, and it may turn out to be twice as bad as the thing you are getting rid of.
