How is Italy an American bastion?
- dkdbejwi383 5y agoMaybe something to do with every third American claiming to be "Italian" despite the last person from their family to have set foot there being born three generations before them.
- code_duck 5y agoWouldn’t that make the US an Italian bastion?
- tomcooks 5y agoAsk the American missile bases and navy stations in central and southern Italy, conveniently placed right in the middle of the medkterranean.
- herbst 5y agoIt does not imply that Italians feel any connection whatsoever. I am no Italian, but from what I can tell this couldn't be further from the truth. Except France I am not sure any smaller country is so actively creating and consuming their own, kinda nationalist, media. Edit:// the main reason I asked is because if you visit cultural places in Italy and read the plates / listen to the stories the US very often is portrait as the aggressor
- Keyframe 5y agoWith its ever-living communist sentiment it cannot be farther. Its cultural impact negates much of the american one and even influenced it back heavily. US armed forces presence has more to do with WWII, like in Germany, than the two being as close. It's an absurd statement basically.
