War Russia Ukraine, NATO today guarantees the best protection of the national interest. Finland and Sweden also understood this
It seems that after the debates on tampons And green pass, our policy today is to discuss foreign policy. The reason is as simple as it is justifiable; there war in place between Russia And Ukraine it is changing the world balance in an important way and we are all obliged to take a position on what is happening.
To consider itself large, a country would have to adopt a single foreign policy shared between government and opposition and, even if it should be obvious, within the government. What we are witnessing in Italy is the absolute opposite, amidst more or less deplorable positions taken by our politicians who are always in search of consensus.
The criticisms of recent weeks regarding our alliances, such as the one that is fundamental for me with the Born, show severe myopia within our institutions. Thinking of protecting our homeland alone is utopian. The pandemic has shown it. Only a joint intervention of theEuropean Union it has allowed us to move forward and mitigate the economic crisis that we have once again found ourselves facing.
NATO today guarantees us the best protection of the national interest. Finland and Sweden also understood this and made their applications for membership after years of hesitation. It is unjustifiable that a certain part of our political class is questioning this fundamental alliance which has always been aimed at guaranteeing our freedom.
It is in the national interest of democratic countries to promote democracy, stand firmly against any authoritarian regime and clearly state that freedom is the most important value to be achieved. To do this, we need allies. Allies who share our thinking, our traditions and our values. Allies like the United States, which a certain political class continues to paint as “bad” without any real justification. But who, on the other hand, are the only ones who guarantee democracy and freedom.
These ongoing pseudo-electoral discussions only undermine our position globally. Only casual and superficial sovereigns can believe, deluding themselves, that, going alone, they would better and more protect the national interest, of the fatherland. Pure madness. Italy urgently needs a competent, authoritative and far-sighted ruling class. It is no longer the time for populism, slogans, boisterous promises and incompetence in institutions. Italy and her people urgently need competence, concreteness and seriousness on the part of all those who represent the institutions.
