Italy Wants a New Defense Club That Actually Includes Ukraine

Original version ·

Forget the EU borders — Rome is finally admitting the current security map is a bit of a relic.

Guido Crosetto, the man running Italy's defense, just dropped a truth bomb: waiting 15 years to plan for security is like waiting for a rotary phone to load a webpage. He thinks we need a new continental defense alliance that doesn't care about red tape or EU membership status.

The plan pulls in Ukraine, Turkey, the UK, and Norway as essential players. It acknowledges the elephant in the room: Washington is getting distracted by the Indo-Pacific, leaving Europe to figure out its own mess. They are even talking about a center to fight hybrid warfare and propaganda, because apparently, clicking 'delete' on spam emails isn't enough anymore.

It is cute how long it took them to realize that 'European security' without half the continent is just a fancy way of saying 'wishful thinking'.
