That's right, anybody who doesn't want to destroy their country's economy is a Russian puppet.

    The reference is the Metropol 2018 case where Salvini met with the Russian deputy prime minister Kozak. Later there was a meeting at the Metropol hotel with Salvini’s associates from the Lega (his political party) to agree a mechanism of the financing of the Lega for the EU elections. The agreement was for the Italian state to buy Russian energy (oil) and the price difference, around €100 million, was to go to the Lega.

    Sure, though at a national level it’s more significant, and resorting to whataboutism isn’t really helping your argument.

    The point here is that there's nothing out of the ordinary happening here in terms of corruption. All large scale projects in Europe, whether they happen on national or EU level, have this sort of corruption happening. However, presence of corruption does not mean the project itself is not useful or shouldn't be done. The only reason people are freaking out about it is because this project happens to be done with Russia. Finally, screeching whataboutism is a way to say you lack consistent moral standards.

    if you know his career, you know what I am talking about (I guess you know the Gatti's book, just to cite one, but as I said it's all his careers, not just one instance) , otherwise, keep repeating slogans, I hope you gain something out of it 😉

    Bye bye 👋🏻

    Facts are facts and his career is what it is, I even give you a source if you could read🤷‍♂️

    And I didn't say anything about Russia, just about his career, so writing about Russophobia is quite dumb, I mean I didn't say a single thing about Russia, quite curious that's all it matters to you, right? It's really a mistery! 🤭

    I should doubt you reading comprehension and intelligence, if it wasn't now clear what you are and why are you doing this, so it's pointless to keep going

    Прощай 👋🏻
