Journalists could be anywhere, he thought with the cheap Frappuccino coursing through his veins.

Shitting themselves while tied up in public while being taunted by children is probably a fetish for these faggots nowadays.

i read they tied them to the hoods of automobiles.

that way you could drive them around for more people to see.

no one would take your "journalism" seriously after they saw that.

ironically it was Mussolini's ability to work parliament that played most to his advantage. that and the extremely short and weak king at the time.

had Italy gone with neutrality he might have survived the war.

Not without selling out significantly like Franco. Mussolini made the right choice and died a martyr.

Russia would have forced his hand but it would have done a better job of uniting Italy behind military expansion.

They weren't going to be able to _stay_ neutral.

Mussolini occupied an odd position before the beginning of the war of being genuinely friendly towards both the USSR and Germany. He could have swung either way. A soviet allied italy would have been disastrous for Germany though. What effect this would have on the cold war is also up in the air. Mussolini didn't *like* the ussr per se but viewed the relationship with them as an "enemy of my enemy is my friend" type of thing against what he viewed as the "plutocratic west". Fascist italy and the USSR in the 20s and 30s, until hitler + hitlers military expansion, had a mutual precarious position as the only 2 powerful states in the world hostile to liberalism. You might see a fascist italy in an uneasy alliance with the ussr vs NATO with a significant amount of countries that flipped communist-in-name-only to get soviet support OTL openly embrace fascism instead.

Though possibly even more likely is that a soviet aligned state right beyond the infamously impossible to invade alps would make hitler reconsider all of barbarossa entirely. A soviet aligned italy changes history so much that we can be pretty liberal with the possibilities. Whats extremely unlikely though is a pro *western* italy. Hitler viewed the west as the lesser evil and mussolini viewed the ussr as the lesser evil, this was the main difference in foreign policy. Mussolini was a prior marxist and remained as hostile as ever towards economically liberal bourgeoisie countries, in his opinion the ussr was misguided and incorrect while the capitalist west was just outright evil.

Mussolini was a journalist. His relationship with the fascists is an interesting one. He also made several films before the war speaking directly to the American audience in English. He wasn't particularly petty at least in the earlier stages of his career.

Although, I agree, his sensibilities and sympathies would have laid with the Russians and almost certainly would have seen him adopt a tepid attitude towards the West as some other border countries in the Eastern Bloc had.

Finally, I never capitalize or spell isreal correctly, on purpose.

I don't know if it would have been particularly tepid. Italy *was* one of the strongest countries in Europe, it just exhausted itself before ww2 and needed time that wasn't given to prepare for the war that happened at an earlier date than they had prepared for. An italo-soviet pact emerging from ww2 would necessitate an italy with a significantly greater deal of strength than it actually had, and it would have remained a power bloc in Europe. I see an italy that would have been actively aggressive on the geopolitical chessboard against at least the other nato countries besides the US. Plus, in this alternative scenario, spain and portugal would have likely been part of the Italian bloc. And it's likely that metaxis either aligns himself with italy and throws off the weak British support for Greece, or that italy succeeds in taking Greece over with soviet aid. American influence in Europe would be diminished, severely. *Maybe* turkey would be pro-US. It'd likely only be strong in the UK. Even France was always quite independently minded.
