["Hi France! I don't think we have a ton to talk about yet, but if you're planning to go in against Italy that's certainly something I'd like to know.", 'Thanks for reaching out. How do you generally feel about working with Italy?', 'If Italy wants it, it can be a powerful alliance, but in my experience Italy rarely wants it badly enough.', "That's true, and my experience as well. It's tricky since if he's not going after me or yoy, then what are his plans? If Italy isn't planning to Lepanto then it is worrying for one of us", "Well I haven't heard *too* much from Italy yet, but once I find out more about his current intentions I will certainly let you know."]
Nice, things are looking up for you with the Russia/Turkey conflict and a seemingly friendly Italy.
