    Nah, the Belgium government officials are afraid, because Putin threatened their personal lives. The risk isn’t fnancial. De facto Free Europe is all already at war with the Russian dictatorship, and for that fight we all need to put the boxing gloves on.

      But then the rest of Europe could take the financial risk and the Belgian officials would scramble.

      Of course we are at war but it is telling that not even a group of individual countries wants to take the risk.

      It was the same with Hungary vetoing some EU financing and not everybody else financing it individually.

      There are some dirty sides to that war that the politicians don’t want us to know.
