      Do you have some source about any event of what you are saying?

      Because I remember countless occasions in at least the past 20 years where the navy has saved people who were dying in the middle of the Mediterranean.

        Unfortunately yes

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_Otranto

        And more recently

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Calabria_migrant_boat_disaster

        Approximately an hour later, two Guardia di Finanza boats were launched to investigate the vessel; both were forced to turn back due to the bad weather, and this was communicated to the Italian Coast Guard. Despite having boats capable of operating in such conditions, a rescue operation was not attempted for approximately another four hours, or almost six hours after the boat had been first spotted

        And I went only based on my memory. I don’t want do dig further

          Apart from the fact that the GdF isn’t the navy, but do you consider those two example of the navy not rescuing people based on their skin color?

            Read that again: the gdf tried to rescue, but couldn’t because of sea conditions. The coast guard instead waited, even if their ships could deal with sea conditions.

            And they did so because it was a boat full of migrants. For any other boat they would go out immediately to fescue

                  Functional illiteracy is really widespread.

                  Go back and read again the comments. Try to read carefully and understand the text. Then we’ll keep discussing if you still need clarification.
