I really don't rate things in black & white, and I really don't go around boasting that Belgium is #1 or even Europe is better then the US.
They are different and somethings are better in the US vs some other things better in Europe.
some other things are probably better in neither, and Asia or Africa has us both beat.
this inability to take even the slightest bit of feedback, it really comes across as lack of self confidence to me. |
In the last 100 years has anyone ever claimed Belgium is number one? They did have a couple of colonies in the past. Nothing even remotely like Great Brittan. Belgium did belong to the Axis.

They do have a lot of good things, and I would love to come see Belgium and see the vast grave yards of the Americans that died to make Europe free of the Axis and Hitler.
I can't imagine any crowd proclaiming Belgium as a world superpower. We pay trillions of dollars in taxes to keep your country free, and likely the USA pays more for the protection of Europe free than Belgium. I have not looked up the defense spending so it is just a feeling, Belgium is likely not in the top 10 for defense spending on of your own country and Europe with NATO. So yea, we are number one, is sending our tax dollars to keep you free from Russia.
