WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE - news journal UPDATE - (en) Italy, FDCA: ANTIDOTE No. 5 (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

In the event of war, Italy will be a nuclear target. Italy is a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) as a non-nuclear-weapon state, having formally ratified the agreement in 1975. The NPT establishes the country's absolute commitment not to manufacture, receive, or acquire nuclear weapons. But... as the popular saying goes, "where the law is made, the loophole is found," with a refined Jesuitical sophism, the Italian government and the United States maintain that no transfer has taken place.

The approximately 35 B61 nuclear bombs stationed in Aviano and Ghedi remain under the exclusive and permanent custody of US soldiers, but Italy is actively preparing for their use; In fact, a select group of Italian Air Force pilots, historically nicknamed the "Red Devils," train at the 6th Wing of the Italian Air Force, stationed at Ghedi Air Base (Brescia).
This specious interpretation to justify nuclear weapons on our soil is not universally accepted and is considered by many jurists, historians, and the International Movement for the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) to be a true violation of the spirit (and letter) of the treaty.
In short, Italy manages to formally declare itself in compliance with the NPT by exploiting an acrobatic interpretation of the concept of "control."
The nuclear bombs at Aviano and Ghedi, the MUOS satellite system at Niscemi, and the gigantic arsenal at Camp Darby do not protect us, but rather expose us as a target in a nuclear conflict scenario. The first targets would be the bases hosting nuclear weapons and strategic command centers.
There are an estimated 12,187 nuclear warheads in the world.
This data comes from leading international geopolitical and security institutions, including the SIPRI Yearbook (Stockholm International Peace Research Institute) and the Federation of American Scientists (FAS).
The reports highlight a worrying trend: although the total number is slightly decreasing due to the dismantling of old Cold War-era weapons, the number of active nuclear weapons ready for military use is steadily increasing.
