European Media Turning On Giorgia Meloni Over Ukraine Support

Anyone who isn’t 100% down with supporting Ukraine will see themselves turned on. They best be flying Ukraine flags, have them in their profile, and make the appropriate responses as we are slowly led into WWIII

Europe has a Meloni problem

She was feted as the “Queen of Europe”, the pragmatic nationalist leader dragging Brussels to the Right on migration while acting as the EU’s bridge to Donald Trump’s White House.

But Giorgia Meloni’s crown has started to slip as Mr Trump’s Ukraine policy forces her to pick sides between the Americans and Europeans.

Until recently a staunch supporter of Ukraine, Ms Meloni has become a thorn in the side of European leaders, dragging her feet as they push for a massive rearmament to deter Russian aggression.

Last week, the Italian premier branded Franco-British plans for a European peacekeeping force in Ukraine “risky, complex and ineffective”.

Isn’t it? Putting NATO member troops in Ukraine, even as a supposed “peacekeeping” force, isn’t exactly safe. It would be rather provocative.

Ahead of a fresh summit of the “coalition of the willing” in Paris on Thursday one European diplomat said: “So far, she’s managed to straddle the fence a bit, but that’s increasingly becoming more difficult.”

“As the rest of Europe considers this an issue of existential importance, she risks placing herself squarely outside of the European mainstream,” the envoy warned.

Ms Meloni’s challenge is to preserve her status as a major EU power broker, while keeping an increasingly Moscow-friendly White House onside.

Oh, Lord, they’re doing this Putin-Trump thing again. I’d say they never learn, but, they just really do not care. Anyhow, she does still support arming Ukraine but without decimating Italy’s economy. She said so at CPAC. But, she’s not willing to put send her soldiers into Ukraine and she’s not for expanding EU support through military members in Ukraine. She’s not necessarily down with Trump’s peace plane, hence, she is not sufficiently pious to the Cause. The Cause which has no actual plan

She is a ruthless and canny negotiator.

“She has this pink pencil case, she gets it out and it makes everyone think she’s like a little girl at school,” a Brussels source told The Telegraph.

“And then,” the insider added, making a gesture across his throat, “she kills them”.

She is not to be played with, and she won’t take kindly to the media coming after her for not trying to drag Europe into WWIII. And she’ll stop being an ally. Yes, it would be great if Russia would get out of the small portion of Ukraine it has taken, but, is that going to happen? If so, how? Do we just keep feeding money and arms in a hope that Russian doesn’t widen the war?

Not mentioned in the article is that she is also a big supporter of Israel and Jews, not Palestinians and Hamas, and the Corporate Media doesn’t like that.
