well at least it does not seem as if the americans have threatened sanctions against italy.

all4one makes the comment..
The US could easily cut off their nose to spite their face if they are not careful.
watso totally agrees - as the rest of the world might gradually bypass america.
anyway what happened to ..
pax romana pax britainia pax hispanica the former european colonial powers. ottoman empire etc etc

america has far too many enemies - and in some countries where they have a military presence, they are not welcomed by the plebs
