Good, by god 2
Via RT: Italy is formally linking up with the New Silk Road project.
Rome is preparing to sign a memorandum of understanding to officially support the project... “The negotiation is not over yet, but it is possible that it will be concluded in time for Xi’s visit,” Geraci told the media. “We want to make sure that ‘Made in Italy’ products can have more success in terms of export volume to China, which is the fastest-growing market in the world.”I emphasize formally because Germany is already linked practically via the NordStream pipeline while dishonestly making anti-Russian noises. Italy is honest. There's an important historical resonance. Italy was the first country to break away from the Old Silk Road in the 1400s by attempting to reach India via the Atlantic. Now Italy is the first Euro country to officially turn back Eastward. Ctrl-Z Columbus. ¶ 5:05 AM
