Crosetto: ‘We will have to think about security and deterrence’

Milan, 6 December (LaPresse) – ‘In the meantime, however, the bad news is that we should (in my opinion, we must) think about what our US allies have provided us with “free of charge” until now: security, defence and deterrence’. Defence Minister Guido Crosetto writes this in X. “I am not just talking about military matters. Through political choices in recent years, we have built and consolidated a large number of bilateral relationships with nations that can help us in the future (in Africa, the Gulf, Asia, South America and Australia) to guarantee and strengthen economic security, energy security and strategic supplies,‘ he said. ’By choice, we have helped to give a small positive boost to a Europe that had lost touch with the trajectories of the world, thinking it could shape it in its own image and likeness. Small, because the ideological and bureaucratic resistance that rejects a quick and pragmatic approach to the evolution of reality is very strong and deeply rooted.”
