I've been learning Italian for a bit, and am nowhere near fluent in Italian as Belsnickel seems to be in German, but as I progress more I will probably start keeping up with it at a much higher rate when I get back to reading Italian newspapers again. I won't have anything interesting to add for quite some time, but once I get my schedule sorted out to add Italian practice, I can start making some commentary from a similar Italian skew as Belnickel's German one.
Don't start expecting anything too soon or even within a year. Anyways, this post is more a way for me to put this out there so there will be some drive/motivation to get back to Italian learning and to make a foray into European politics from a "native" view.
You will not only learn more about European politics, but you will get an outsider perspective into the US. It is very interesting to dig into European news sources like that. I wish I could devote more time to it, but my primary focus is domestic policy so it is hard to justify.
