"Let's get out of NATO!"

Another massive protest against NATO and the EU on the streets of Paris, France today.

"My take is that probably sooner rather than later this episode will be seen as Meloni’s betrayal of the Italians who put her in power. Keeping the rest of Europe happy won’t pay the bills nor will it heat Italian homes. Meloni ran on a platform of Homeland, Family, and God. NATO as it is now is opposed to all three. No doubt this is just the beginning of the Globalist coup against Italy."

Edward Luttwak, who speaks Italian and seems quite knowledgeable about Italian politics, has been saying for quite a while that Meloni was pro NATO and would support the Ukraine war more vigorously than the previous government. I don't know what Meloni said to the Italian voters during the campaign as I didn't follow it closely. My assumption was that she was pro-family but didn't see that as incompatible with being pro-NATO, at least with respect to Ukraine. So based on my admittedly limited knowledge it's not a betrayal, but if she in fact misled the voters they may feel quite differently. Does an Italian PM ever last very long?
