The Italian ambassador in an interview with ANSA, 'At the Madrid summit we will correct the tune on Russia'


NATO, after years spent on the sly, has suddenly returned to the center of public debate.

It is not a question of "coincidence", but rather of "processes that come to maturity".

Francesco Maria Talò is the Italian ambassador to NATO. His days, considering the period, are full days, also in view of an increasingly leading role for Italy in the near future. The Alliance is grappling with the enlargement to Finland and Sweden, the war in Ukraine, and the development of the 'Strategic Concept', which will be adopted in Madrid at the June summit, 40 years after Spain's entry into the Born.

"It was the last great Western country," he explains. Now the Helsinki and Stockholm application for membership renews the appeal of the Alliance, just as it is acquiring the guiding document for the next 10 years. "Madrid will be the Strategic Concept that will take NATO into the 21st century, after a period of transition", he confides in an interview with ANSA .

"We will correct the shot on Russia , which in the last document was considered a partner, we will insert China, which has been absent so far, we will deal with today's challenges in an articulated way: cyber, hybrid, emerging technologies, climate change, company resilience ". Each single point would open a chapter full of ramifications. The relationship with China, for example. "NATO does not want to be and will not be the global policeman, on the contrary it fully maintains its regional character", he assures us. "But Beijing, with its growth, enters our area of ​​interest and pushes us to evaluate the consequences". Which are disruptive, especially in the technological field.

"From 1500 onwards the West has been hegemon, thanks to the strength of science, and this has led to a lot of ugliness, I think of the domination of the white man and colonialism," he says. But now the 30 allies, linked by common values ​​of freedom and democracy, find themselves facing an emerging power that has set itself the goal of technological supremacy. And what a democratic it is not.

"Europe and the United States must stand together in this challenge or they will lose it: artificial intelligence, quantum computers, use of data". The basis for this is "an important synergy between public and private". The era of the "Pentagon conglomerates" - Talò directly quotes Eisenhower's famous farewell speech - is over, if anything the key relationship is with "Big Tech".

NATO then updates and equips itself. With the acronym DIANA aims to encourage SMEs and start-ups-up active in the field of defense and Italy will play its part with an "accelerator in Turin" and two test centers, one in Capua and one in Spezia. Then there will be an innovation fund, which will operate along the lines of venture capital. Because NATO is not just missiles and tanks, as evidenced by the DEXTER program: prototype of technology to counter the threat of firearms and explosives in crowded places, developed with the contribution of ENEA, was successfully tested in a station of the Rome underground. Important news, which take nothing away from NATO's core business, defense and deterrence. The allies in Madrid will therefore take stock of the strengthening of the east flank, imposed by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. "L'

Details are being finalized. The other key aspect is the great South. "Now we are also talking about the 'global South' , which we Italians above all cannot forget, but which must affect all our allies: close to us is Africa with a billion inhabitants at risk of poverty, aggravated by food insecurity, terrorism, climate change, all factors that intertwine and generate instability. And even there, Russia is increasingly present ", he stresses. Of course, in its more than 70 years of history, not everything has gone smoothly at NATO.

"I personally and sadly feel the weight of the end of the mission in Afghanistan, a country to which I feel connected", confides Talò. "Last year we could have done better, we have a responsibility towards that people, but we have done a lot anyway and this in a certain sense is demonstrated by the negative effects of the absence of NATO". Ukraine, with the côté of the enlargement to Finland and Sweden,instead it represents the revenge, the NATO that works and finds consensus in society. After all, common values ​​are the glue of the Alliance and a further challenge for the future: to better explain oneself to "the billion citizens" who live under its protective umbrella. At this point in the interview Talò shows a photo of Baghdad - where NATO has a training mission - in the throes of a sandstorm. "Here there is everything, climate change and the effects on security: if we show sensitivity on these issues, we get closer to the citizens". In short, in Madrid the Alliance will be called upon to 'ground' a good slice of the future.

Local demand for the staple is between 5-6 million tons a year.
But local production is shrinking with each passing year.
In 2021, Iraq produced 4.2 million tons of wheat.
In 2020, it was 6.2 million tons.
“Today we might get 2.5 million tons at best,”

I have no doubts this is the same well-thought-out and insidious plan. And only Russia has every opportunity to resist this process. The result of this plan is the destruction of Russia, the plunder of its resources, the complete domination of the world by foreign nuclear powers.
