Late stage self-awareness, is still self-awareness.
It’s the Italian bureaucracy, I think it’s safe to assume pettiness is the chief motivating factor here.
I’ll take it, don’t get me wrong, but let’s not get it twisted.
While it is a bit petty, I think it is mostly insulting to the italian defense minister. I mean you find yourself in a hot zone during vacation because your supposed ally couldn’t give less of a shit to inform you that it would start a war. So honestly, quite a reasonable crash out
True story: When France refused to let us fly through their airspace during the Iraq War, the Congressional Cafeteria changed the name of French Fries to Freedom Fries.

So childish. Without France, the USA would not exist.
Americans like to pretend that France owes us for WW2, but if the French Navy hadn’t shown up at Yorktown, and blocked the British ships from evacuating their army (again), we’d all be speaking…English…well, you know what I mean.
We 100% owe the founding of our company to France.
Cesar Salad -> President Salad
Pizza -> American Pie

I cant stand the fish based salad dressing, but each their own.
I didn’t know it had fish in it.
Its anchovies based IIRC. Hope i didnt just ruin something for you stranger.
