Nope, this cannot stand.

Nuke 'em. France should drop its entire nuclear arsenal on Belgium.

After all, if France allows itself to be pushed around like that, sooner or later Belgium will annex not only France, but the entire Eurasian continent.

Then everyone will be forced to eat luxury chocolate and drink Trappist beer. :evil:

Well... both Belgium and France are in the EU. So they have"soft borders" with each other anyway. So it shouldnt really matter.

But the UK just decided to Brexit. So that fishing grounds dispute about the waters around the Jersey island is a real dispute about what are now "hard borders".
