They will deploy every possible means, they will deploy the absolute leaders of the State, they will promise money and benefits to fishermen and Municipalities, they will announce for the umpteenth time reclamations never made and succulent bombs to crash with impunity on the naturalistic oasis of Teulada and beyond. The great state game to try to "save" the war games on Sardinian soil has just begun. This time the caliber chosen by the Ministry of Defense is the maximum one. At stake is nothing less than the survival of the most voracious polygons in Southern Europe, capable alone of funding the great Italian, European and other war industries. Bombs and missiles galore, to "devastate" islets and coasts, skewer beaches and seabeds. A sort of big target for Nato & company, to "pierce" the island far and wide, without respite.
The Defense is shaking
They tremble in via XX Settembre, the Roman headquarters of the Ministry of Defense. This time the battlefield will not be one-way. It will not be the howitzer of a German Leopard, close to arriving in the Italian Army's deployment, or that of an old Ariete of Italian production that will shatter the earthly paradise of Cape Teulada. From the joint forces ranges scattered across the island to the courtrooms, the step will not be easy. In that department, they have always been used to commanding, to considering explosive activities always above the laws, both when it came to polluting immense areas with radioactive thorium or nanoparticles or bombing untouched nuraghi and promontories without a reason.
They call for war
This is nothing new: they will invoke the war at the gates, the supreme need to defend the borders of the homeland from a conflict that in reality does nothing but fuel, rather than dissuade and resolve. Moreover, the Defense leaders, anonymously, declared it openly by explicitly responding to the investigations of the Sardinian Union on the environmental management of military ranges. The note written like a cablegram from the secret services was not cryptic: «Sardinia, a key territory for investments in the defense sector». In other words, Italy's military "colony" cannot be abandoned, on the contrary. The state litany is good for every occasion, a diktat without appeal: «The current strategic framework does not allow reductions in training activities of the Armed Forces». As if this land, sun and sea, landscapes and nature, were perpetually destined to "host" 70% of the war games of the Italian State and NATO, both European and American.
