Italy Sends Ship to Cyprus — Like Liepāja Theater, But With Weapons
Italians have sent a frigate to defend Cyprus, while Prime Minister Meloni explains they will fight but not participate.
Italy has decided to send its frigate 'Federico Martinengo' to defend Cyprus, which is about as logical as trying to stop Liepāja wind with an umbrella. The ship has joined a French-led group around the aircraft carrier 'Charles de Gaulle', creating such military theater that even Liepāja Theater, which even Riga residents travel to see, might envy this international performance.
The problem started when an Iranian drone hit a British base in Cyprus, located only 150-250 kilometers from Lebanon and Israel. That's less than the distance from Liepāja to Riga, just with explosions overhead.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced that while they're sending a ship to help, they won't participate in Israeli and US attacks on Iran. This logic is like saying: 'I'll come to the fight, but I won't throw punches.' Meloni also warned about the 'collapse of the collectively supported world order', which, honestly, would sound more threatening if it weren't said with an Italian accent.
'We're for peace, but with weapons,' commented a local resident in Liepāja, watching the news on Graudu Street. 'Just like our tram — loud, but doesn't really go anywhere.'
