Italy's government apparently is failing, as the ruling coalition has fallen apart, and they are having trouble forming another. This goes with the troubles in the Netherlands, Johnson's resignation in the UK, and Macron's loss of his parliamentary majority. It appears that perhaps Putin is winning this PR conflict at least. Add to that Germany's economic troubles and Biden embarrassing the U.S. everywhere he goes...recalling the Honor of the Holocaust...errr, the Horror of the Holocaust appalled the Israelis. Reading from the teleprompter and not thinking about what you are saying can present problems.
