The problem isn't Russian disinformation saying that Draghi is a Putin supporter. We know that this is the purpose of disinformation: to divide internal and external public opinion. The problem arises when even important figures, ostensibly on the side of Ukraine and the free 1/

world, start this narrative. What is unclear about Draghi's actions? "I have not seen any glimmer of peace," he said at a press conference. What does that mean? It means that the Italian government can act in a certain direction (provide armaments and aid as it has already 2/

done and is doing) without being accused by the (pro-Russian) opposition anymore of not trying all possible avenues. It means not getting shot down by the political opposition that insists on this issue. Draghi, by calling Putin, got out of the way of the (this one real) 3/

danger of being shot down by the Italian pro-Russians who are waiting for nothing else. Draghi saved the whole of Europe years ago with his "whatever it takes." He is doing it again now, for the 4/

second time (including Ukraine). But I suppose you are too busy belching mystifications while twiddling your thumbs to realize it. 5/end
