“It is right for Europe to equip itself to play its part but gullible to think it can do so on its own, outside the framework” of NATO, noted Meloni.

I don’t remember the other conversation in which people here on Lemmy were praising Meloni for something pro-EU she said, and I had to remind everyone she is a literal fascist who professed herself friend of Orban and recently participated in the CPAC.
Never trust a fascist.
Yeah exactly. Meloni has ripped apart lesbian families already. She’s only pro-EU because she’s Italy First. Italy is in the EU. Right now, this suits her position.
But she also praised Trump when he was elected. And while she sees Putin as a threat to Italy, she is ideologically closer to Trump than she is to the EU in many ways.
I’ll take your word on her praising Orban. Meloni is sharp and she understands posture and signals. This is a signal.
Ultimately she’ll probably fall in line with the other fascists. I feel like Italy could flip to Axis/Anerica/Russia if it gets bad enough. Which is one of my long term fears.
So, I agree with you. I’m rooting for the EU. Italy hasn’t had a good leader in a very very long time.
I agree with almost everything you say, except for her seeing Putin as a threat. In Italy there is a surprisingly diffused narrative that sees Russians as the best estimators, and therefore lovers, of Italy.
And that is true in the same way as locusts are the best estimators and lovers of crops.
Meloni has been winking at Putin since 2014
