70s in Italy were wild. Cities were cratered, blood was on the roads monthly in a triple underground war between brigate rosse, neofascisti and the state, with the cia meddling trough gladio. 90-10 were bliss in comparison. Wouldn't claim these are golden age because as the first world stabilized the unaligned world became the proxy for the great powers' wars, to all that it entailed. The proxies are getting nukes now, and so the struggle between great powers is shifting again...
- lovich 4y agoWhat a fascinating bit of history I’ve never heard of. Thank you for introducing me to it. This whole story of the gladio operation only being discovered because of an Italian investigator trying to crack an unsolved case around far right terrorism feels like it should have had a block buster movie made already.[1][2] [1] https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1990/11/14/cia-organized-secret-army-in-western-europe/e0305101-97b9-4494-bc18-d89f42497d85/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1990/11/14/c...
