To you maybe, not to the majority of Italians. There is no sense of investing into the military when our public health services and education are in shambles and we live pay check to pay check thanks to the last 35 years of bad government and privatization.
>privatization
>government
Ah, so generic whining of socialists as common literally everywhere in the world. Disregard.
Point me to one not oil rich country where things are not heavily privatized yet people don't "live paycheck to paycheck".
I am not deciding, I am affirming, that so far, they are proportionate to the countries'needs.
You are affirming your own total ignorance then, congratulations, be fucking proud.
Yes, there aren't except the globalists in the government and the wokes in the opposition. To the north we have Austria and Switzerland (perpetually neutral), to the east Slovenia and Croatia (friendly nation), to the West we have the incompetent France who can't even block a trade agreement nowadays and to which we have cordial relations, then to the South we have Malta, which we have cordial relations since 1945 and the rest is the Mediterranean water.
You are a Mediterranean basin country, half the countries sharing that sea are total shitholes full of islamists, or may turn into them any decade now. Have you missed how your own bloody navy is in combat because some islamic pirates are blocking european commerce across Suez?
They (Iranian proxy btw) have attacked your civilian ships even:

But you justify holding all sorts of ridiculous beliefs about the world if you insist on not knowing such things and then claiming they don't happen.
There is no Shia Jihadi activity, it's all Sunni Muslims Jihadi and not that are too busy competing each other in the drug trade in collaboration with the local mafia, the Albanian Mafia (which is either Sunni OR Christian) the Nigerian gangs and others. None of them are Shia so far. All coming from Western-backed or friendly countries from Morocco to Egypt.
Sure, again, better to just not know anything, because not knowing things suits your politics, and then claim there is nothing.
Operatives of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) are entering European ports, concealing their identity as seafarers while on board Iranian ships and oil tankers, sources familiar with the situation told Iran International.

An operative of Iran's IRGC Qods Force held in a European country has admitted to plotting assassinations in Turkey, Germany and France, diplomatic sources say.

How that has to do with anything?
Russia did it to Germany on grand scale, so never say never, there certainly is no lack of long term interest.
The deal signed in May this year between Gazprom and the Italian firm ENI was supposed to be path breaking: For the first time, the Russian energy giant would receive direct access to the gas distribution market in a major European country. It had the full support of Russian President Vladimir...

That's a correct statement, because none of them have the logistics or clout or political power to do that. All of the current political parties, both government and opposition, are explicitly pro-NATO. Russia has no use for a US-aligned Italy and Iran hasn't been a threat to Italy since the Roman-Persian war of 444 AD.
As if that stopped Russia from making moves on Germany of all places.
And don't bullshit me, you should know better by now:
An unusually large number of Italian politicians are opposed to arming Ukraine and increasing military spending.

While there are Moscow backers across Europe and even in the U.S., they mostly remain on the margins. In Italy, however, support for the Kremlin runs surprisingly wide, and deep.

Italy’s largest far-right policy, La Lega (“the League”), has long had close ties with Putin’s regime in Russia. The League’s leader, Matteo Salvini, has been a vocal supporter of Putin for years (…

Though if Italy is as pro-USA and pro-NATO as you claim, it should be perfectly happy with following NATO defense spending recommendations and Trump's demands for them to be met
Every time we tried it was a NATO country it opposed. So it is NATO.
By that logic it was a UNESCO country every time, so it was UNESCO

I can make retarded troll theories too, see?
If you want to point fingers at organizations it was UN and EU, specifically all the usual muh human rights whiners in Brussels.
Ah, yes,
the famous NATO institution, ECHR.
Still,
your own courts are even worse.
Turkey is the reason why there has been a migrant crisis since 2014.
Most of migrants coming to Italy don't even go through Turkey lol, and if they do they have to go through Greece first, which they should not be allowed to.
Wokes in Brussels are the only reason why the situation is a crisis at all, if you expect Turks fight them to do your border enforcement for you, good luck, guess you really are short of reasons to be mad at Turks to need such far reaching excuses.
Come on, no one will do that for you if push comes to shove (many countries in all parts of the world tried to outsource it and it's always a mess), and if Greece won't do it then certainly not Turks either.
