    Officially we don’t. We merely have American military bases with American planes and suspicious payloads that the government refuses to comment on.

    I’ve wondered what that would mean in practice in different scenarios. If NATO command structure was atomized (RIP the city of Mons, no-one really liked you but thanks for the sacrifice o7), would the Belgian army make the call to fire ze missiles anyway? Or does the highest-ranked American make that call?

        Real answer: nothing, just regional banter

        Noncredible answer: That terrible, poor, almost-french city hasn’t managed to finish its train station in decades (it’s 1000 % over budget and 10 years late). This demonstrates why their population has therefore rightly been declared as expandable to protect Brussels.
