What is happening in Southern Italy is the roadmap for the future

If the South of Italy forms essentially a break-away state, that will be a really bad indicator for many parts of the EU.

Right now, the Chinese are pushing very, very hard to weaponize their propaganda to break up the EU as I believe that is the only think that will distract the world from their incompetence in this global health fiasco.
