Second: Belgium is "The Littlest Weasel," being one of the NATO countries to that twice tried to block defensive aid to Turkey (before both the first and second Gulf Wars).
Third: Belgium is one of the worst countries in the world. It's run by a bunch of child molesters (look up the Marc Dutroux trial online if you have a strong stomach). You should avoid that little [excrement]hole if you value your life. You should avoid it on principle, too.
Right you are. It's like France, with all the attitude and none of the charm.
Moreover, the Belgians broke all records for cruel, rapacious colonialism in their African possessions. They are hardly in a position to tell us how to deal with the Third World.
