I am upset.
<div>Until recent times, during the Berlusconi era, we (Italy) were the undisputed leaders in reporting embarrassing actions or speeches by domestic politicians, in particular in the government area.</div>
<div>However nowadays, in spite of all the laudable efforts made by the current government, we have to admit that we can only run for silver medal.</div>
<div>But we can be creative, and do what happens for football (soccer): we can buy world champions to play in our teams. Would the US mind to lend us Rudy? He even has an Italian last name. He would be the perfect addition to our current cybersecurity
expert team and help us in regaining the lost primacy.</div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
<div>Roberto<br>
