Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has deployed the Italian army in response to the violent riots sweeping through Italy.

According to The Independent, the Italian government will deploy 500 troops to "defend Milan" and restore order after two days of chaos.

Italy's Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini announced the decision on Monday, with the deployment expected to be finalised during a Tuesday cabinet meeting.

Salvini posted on social media about the deployment, writing "from words to deeds" and sharing a photo of troops reading "From words to action: 500 more troops to defend Milan".

Hey Macron! This is how you do it!

You go, Giorga! Stop this crap.

Italy should join Poland and Hungary and start deporting their invaders.

Shoot to kill orders on all rioters and looters and 5000 troops would send a better message.

Good for her. But as for Macron, gee, you’d think he wants his country destroyed; he sure isn’t doing anything to stop it. But then, he’s a bought and paid for globalist.

“Italy should join Poland and Hungary and start deporting their invaders.”

Even better, Poland is SHOOTING their invaders, and proud of it.

Dominik Tarczyński, from Poland’s European Parliament, is on “Finnerty” often. He gives strong advice to America to toughen up or we’ll fall. He’s right.

Yes. This is the only way to defeat the insurrection. Kill a few thousand. The rest will think twice.

The chaos in France is incredible, and so confusing. If Macron doesn’t get tough, or flee the country, he could experience the business end of a guillotine one of these days.

Yes. Overwhelming numbers of armed military, not cops, and shoot to kill. This is war. Then this crap will stop (sorta). Poland and Hungary should be the model for countries who care about safety, and their NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY.

I think everyone knows that if a “far right” party had riots insisting on smaller government, more tradition, more patriotism, and more individual responsibility, the ruling governments would start shooting right away.

I believe that is exactly what these A holes want, as long as they get to rule over the ashes. Then that A hole was out blaming French citizens for the rioting. What color is the sky in that prick’s world?

That’s what I was thinking yesterday, these riots reminded me of the French revolution, the anarchy and mobocracy of it and I was wondering if the guillotines are coming next. It would not surprise me in the least. The leftists in France have been poking this monster in the gut for decades now it’s exploded on them.

I asked my friend in France about using the military there. She said, “It’s not the French culture.”

I guess their culture is one of surrender.

That’s what I’m sayin’! Spilt some skulls and let the bodies rot. Won’t happen again for at least 200 years.

Italy is one of the PIIGS for a reason.

As long as the country lives beyond its means the EU will have Italy by its short hairs.

Italy will not oppose the EU.
