Italy has not directly involved with any country in any war in last modern era but has always participated in peacekeeping missions and has always deployed their troops in the war against terrorism.
The weak army of WWII is now the military with two active aircraft carriers which carry a large number of attack helicopters and large submarine, making it one of the strongest militaries. Italy, as of now, does not engage in a war with any country and is an active member of the UN and willingly sends their troops to the countries who seek help.
Sure the "defense" business is going well, but spreading peace in the world has a price (like in Afghanistan, Irak, Syria...).
Come on Donald, it's christmas time!
