Giorgia Meloni has called Donald Trump’s remarks that NATO allies had stayed “a little off the front lines” in Afghanistan “unacceptable”, adding that Italy bore a cost that “cannot be called into question.”

    Trump does not exist if he does not create conflict.

    Take Davos.

    Have you seen Carney’s (Canadian PM) speech? Have you seen Trump’s speech?

    This guy is just a shadow of those leaders. He leads the most powerful country in the world, and yet is eclipsed by half the world leaders as soon as he opens his mouth. His only way to exist—and not be called out for what he is—is to be on the offensive all the time, to make people forget how dull and ignorant he is.

  2. Georgia, come on. Quick sucking his d1ck already. What do you truly expect from this current US administration, How can you stand by your idea that asserting our strategic autonomy would be a bad idea like you did yesterday? The is the ONE AND ONLY choice that’s left to us Europeans…

  3. People are quick to point at Trump. He’s this and that. He did this or that. Sure, that may be true, but he doesn’t stand alone. He’s surrounded by sycophants. The entire GOP as well as a lot of other people are behind him. An entire fascist machine is churning along behind him. You can debate the reasons and the causes all day, but until you break down that fascist machinery you’ll get the exact same result regardless of who’s in charge.

  4. Does she now see why this “America first” or “Italy first” approach only leads to total isolation and future conflict? Probably not… but she should!

  5. As a vet, I have a particular soft spot for the Italian Army. They were our route clearance guys when I was in Herat. Great dudes doing a very dangerous job.

  6. Why don’t any of these world leaders just call out Trump for every country that answered the call. And especially those that lost lives. This is what Carney was getting at. Answer as a collective rather than individuals. Speaking as a proud Canadian

    I remind people that the Italian authorities paid the Talibans for protection money. They didn’t tell the French, though, so when the French troops took their place, the Talibans attacked them killing some.
    When the Times reported it, the Italian government publicly announced that they would sue: but they never did (because they knew they would lose in a court of justice).

    So Trump was, if anything, too polite

  8. Over 1200 American allied troops were KIA in Afghanistan compared to the US’s approx 2400.

    So much for being “a little off the front lines”…

  9. The only person coming close to Donalds flip flopping is Meloni herself. Wouldnt take this communication from her too serious.

    Trump is irrelevant. By keeping him in the media, youre giving him what he wants and he feeds off if it.
