Italy renewed the defence agreement and THEN suspended automatic renewal.
Misleading headline.
Me when I forget to cancel my free trials before they renew
I just wanted to finish watching this season of Genocide in Gaza before switching to Hulu to start Iranian Oil Tankers
Philomena?
Italy has reportedly stopped supporting Israel militarily, but still remains committed to peace and continuing ongoing traditions of the two cultures by arguing over it loudly during dinner.
We look forward to further debate in which rapid hand movements and speaking loudest stress the most important points.
I believe they were referring to the lady in the article looking like someone else.
My reply was supposed to sound like Philomena Cunk, sorry if it didn't, I am just a fan and certainly no writer.
Oh fantastic. I am clearly not fan enough to notice. Ignore me.
When Giorgia Mussolini is more humane and progressive than the United States government...
I heard Lamborghini artillery and Balenciaga urban camos weren't very good anyway.
No, but Leonardo is a pretty big defence company. For example, the deck gun on the Isearli corvettes is a Leonardo gun. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sa%27ar_6-class_corvette (Oto Melara is part of Leonardo).
Benelli and Beretta are somewhat well-known brands also.
Many Euro defense manufacturers use crucial Israeli components, from Elbit, for example. Redesign and replacements is hard, expensive, and would take time. Not good. EDIT: not good for the European defense industry, because they have been effectively backdoored by Nazisrael
Still better than being complicit in genocide, repeated war crimes, and the illegal occupation of lands
Is your point that it would be a shame if Israel didn't get it's advanced munitions? You do know they are the devil?
No. Israel Is the devil. I just phrased it wrong. I meant that it's not good for European defense. They have been essentially backdoor Ed.
It's weapons. There are always companies willing to take over someone else's business. Whatever interruption may occur, it won't last, and if they aren't actively using their weapons, they'll be caught back up quickly.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
