I think you misunderstood my post. I'm Italian. I'm asking for a withdrawal from Italy. Invasion took place in 1944.

Oh, the other Axis power. Sure, troops out of there, too. Leave you Europeans and watch the fun as you have to fund your own defense, and to do it you have to cut your oh-so-special welfare state. The screaming would be exquisite. And the delicious irony that it was because of your own shitheadedness and ingratitude for 80 years of peace. Oh, it would be glorious.

Mhhh we have over 2 million soldiers if I recall correctly. We don't have that much projection power, but we have a very strong defensive army. Anyway yeah let's see.

What?! No. Italian army is 350,000. Why it exists, I have no idea. Its most famous characteristic is its incompetence. “gl’italiani non si battono”

You are right, i totally forgot the actual number. we're still the biggest EU army. https://imgur.com/a/PKTUHte

Btw, i can't tell if you know italian or nay, but the meaning of that phrase is "you can't win over italians", which is strange given the contex.

But which meaning? You can't beat Italians, or you can't make friends with Italians?

Lol I didn't realize that there was a double meaning. It's "you can't beat Italians"

[–]Node 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

It's probably just meant more as standard bravado than a literal truth.

As for the double meaning, to "win someone over" means to convince them to stop being your opponent, and more of a friend or supporter.

Ahh got it. I'm still struggling to grasp some English expressions.

Well, bless your heart.

That one has opposite meanings, depending on who you ask. It's either a genuine expression of caring, or one of the most condescending putdowns a good southerner can deploy.

There are a ton of expressions that have to be explained, as there's no obvious meaning in the expression alone.
