Agree, and the limited capacity issue applies to most European countries. The exceptions are England and France, but even their capacity is much reduced.
While there are many in Italy willing to fight, I also doubt they represent a majority, and question the ability of the Italian government to drum up the will to fight. That could change if there was a major attack on Italian soil.
As I understand it, Italy ceased it refugee interception because the EU failed to share costs for these operations. The refugees may enter the EU through Italy, but many on move to other locations in Europe, so I can understand Italy's demand that EU assist with the mutual security challenge.
