So you are making two points: Putin is a liar and the US may have saved Italy from being taken over by the USSR."One of the most famous examples of US foreign electoral interference came at the dawn of the Cold War in 1948, when the CIA (in its first covert action) secretly subsidized public efforts to ensure that communist candidates were defeated in elections in Italy.
