Hot collision a “The Air That Pulls” (La7) between the director of Avvenire, Marco Tarquinioand the journalist Corriere della Sera, Federico Rampini, to increase military spending and to the war between Russia and Ukraine. According to Rampini, who heavily criticizes the position Giuseppe Conte Definition “linked to shameful political games”, it is imperative to increase Italian military spending, since our armed forces are totally inadequate in this emergency situation.
Tarquinius disagrees, noting, “It makes me smile because there are few $330 billion (Total armaments expenditures of the European NATO states, editor’s note), then I didn’t understand anything about economics. And I think I understand a little, at least as much as Rampini. But the Italians in particular understand this: spending better does not mean spending more.

The director of Avvenire adds: “In my opinion, one of Putin’s potential losers is Russia, which will pick up the pieces of this senseless war of aggression he has unleashed because Sanctions do no less damage than bombings. Economic sanctions are like bombings: They don’t bend regimes, but they bend peoples. And the whole history of the second half of the twentieth century says so, if we apply it: fromIraq In the Syria to Cuba“.
Rampini emphasizes: “He put economic sanctions and bombings on the same level. are we kidding That is a shameful offense to the mothers of the children killed. That’s one thing ignoble which he allowed himself to say and which reveals which side she is on. He is one of many who work for Putin. This is the suicide of the West: we are full of people who do not want to open their eyes to the real danger”.

Tarquinio replies: “I don’t like verbal fights or insults, as Rampini puts it, ignoble me and my position. Apparently Rampini is someone who writes but doesn’t read. And he doesn’t know the history of the newspaper I run, nor my personal history of 41 years of journalism, otherwise he would never have allowed himself to say the things he said. But everyone is responsible for what they say and what they do. And the face takes it there. I’ve been campaigning for this for 41 years, and everyone knows about the information campaigns we’ve conducted on Putin’s Russia.
