Berlusconi wants Europe to be a military global power
By EUobserver
Italian former prime minister and MEP Silvio Berlusconi said on Thursday that Europe needs to become a global military power "to have a seat at the table where decision are made" with America and China. "We also need military capacity to defend ourselves in case of a massive invasion phenomenon," Berlusconi added, saying his party will return to government soon as the current Italian government is "unprepared, unqualified and inexperienced".
