Rome, 7 April (LaPresse) – ‘I hope everyone realises what we are going through. This is a situation without precedent in history. Hiroshima has taught us nothing. The risk of this conflict is madness; to the opposition I say we need maturity.’ So said Defence Minister Guido Crosetto in an interview with “Il Corriere della Sera”. "I fear that what is already a tragedy could spiral even further. Because I know that humanity has shown us there is no limit to madness. Just think: those who decided that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were acceptable means to end a conflict were human beings just like us. Unfortunately, we still have nuclear weapons, and those who don’t have them are seeking them. We have learnt nothing,” he added. You are talking about a nuclear threat, so is the risk real? “I don’t even want to utter the word. The risk is madness, and what we are experiencing is a conflict where every action is met with a reaction of a higher order.”
