Unfortunately, in Italy we have lost almost all the memories of those atlantic crossing made by Balbo’s team. Those were called the “Trasvolate del Decennale” to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the fascist regime.

With all the bad things that the fascist regime brought to Italy we have erased everything of those years so for example the home base of the “Atlantici” which was the nickname of Balbo’s man that is in Orbetello near Livorno is abandoned and ruined while it could have been a museum

I guess the US would have done the same thing: self defense.
If US schools would have been distroyed and looted , 9 soldiers killed, you think that the US would just sit on their butt?

As for the “colonialistic behaviour” , France has an official UN mandate to try to keep peace in Ivory coast. They don’t have any mandate to get killed without any riposte.

Back in Bosnia in the 90s the French and all the other Nations were under UN mandate but they never give such a rapid answer to the Serb action and sometimes they left them the door open, I am saying that is easier to attack and kill Ivorians soldiers then do the same in other part of the world

It is quite the first time about CIV Su 25 and now they lost them all, I guess there were some mercenaries to fly them
