#1 Bringing home the nukes may be a great idea, as I bet we have no idea how many nukes are still there, either. Do we really trust the Belgians?

#2 Flems yes, Walloners not so much, except for some of them, case by case I sez.

#3 Wait a sec... do I have that backwards....?

Maybe it's the Wallons and not the Flems.... which ones parachutered into the Congo?

#4 Ditto, Dr. White.

Ya knowz times have moved on when one can basically agree with the basic demands of complete idiots like anti-NATO protesters.

Though I'd be for some new, rump alliance with the adults in Europe (Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Czechs, Portugal, UK - perhaps my list needs lengthening or editing). Ya know, the ones' whose troops actually leave their bases and are allowed to use those long metal things they sling over their shoulders.

Flems are the small businesspeople, the peasants, and Labour in general, Shipman, Walloons Management and the aristocracy with country estates, ancient stone keeps, and relatives (however distant) at Court. The Belgian Congo was a personal possession of the king, so that he needn't depend on taxes for his income. I imagine both Flems and Walloons parachuted in for him, as needed.
