On the role of Italian Armed Forces in Twilight

[Olefin]

For Italy to move to the left enough to fully embrace a war against NATO, where units stay loyal until the whole world is on the point of collapse in 2000, would have to take a truly shattering event - i.e. on the scale of a US bomber with a nuke on board crashing into Italian soil and the nuke detonating or something else literally earth shaking.

Or the rise of a new Mussolini, but one who can somehow unite all the fractous leftist parts of Italy to where they can overpower the rightists.
