Well to be fair, there were Nazi collaborators and sympathizers in pretty much every country in the world.

Even in England, even in the US
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Nazi_Party

Ford was an open admirer, IBM sold dataprocessing equipment for the death camps.
You don't hear me saying the US was cooperating with the Holocaust now do i?

So it's quite the stretch and it's defo a cheap shot that is PARF worthy to state Belgium was part of the Axis.
We weren't.. we just had some people in our country that thought they 'de get a better deal for themselves collaborating with the Germans

That's not even a criticism, it's a blatant lie.
Our governement did not allign or cooperate with the Germans, and collaborators after liberation got sentenced and punished for it.

IF you want to criticize Belgium, why not bring up the colonial past of Congo.
Now that would be something, our former King and the colonists did do some horrible things there.. No denying that.



You see, I have no problem discussing those things, I don't feel guilty for I had nothing to do with it, and it no longer happens.. Congo was set free before I was born.

Not that it improved much now they are a republic.. On the contrary.

And as for Belgium in the last 100 years, no , but just before WW1 we were an industrial superpower, the days of Union Muniere, Fabrique Nationale, Cockerill-Sambre
Belgium was batting well above it's size in the world economies, in part because of Congo..
You should see the buildings in Brussels, they are well past their prime because they were built at mega sizes because of all the wealth from our economu.

Or palace of justice is now one big money pit, they can't repair it because it's so massively big and impractical..
It was the largest building of the 19th century.



So yeah, at some point we have been #1 at some things.. And for the most part we lost it in WW1 & WW2..
And you would call Belgium part of the Axis, lol.


a lest I forget, all your first nuclear bombs and carriers and subs ran off fuel you got from Belgium.. We were #1 at high grade Uranium in the 40ies (Congo, again)
