   Mango Mussolini is afraid he will suffer at the US midterm elections, hence bullying Europe to use thier stratigic reserves (during a war he started!) to help lower diesel prices in the USA.

   The USA has lost the plot.

         I mean... He joined ww2 on a rush schedule because he thought he was going to miss the fall of france, when most of the italian merchant fleet was not at home and ended up being seized or sank by the royal navy. Later on, the lack of shipping was critical.

         I guess you could make the case that he wasn't trying to serve his masters, and it was just greed?

            Of course everybody looks bad when compared to Franco.
