NATO allies the UK and Belgium are at loggerheads as Belgium's green party coalition is using Brexit rules to block the export of critical nuclear arms technology to the UK.

The technology at the centre of the row plays a vital role in the maintenance of the UK's nuclear deterrent, with Belgium insisting the UK needs an 'export licence' to obtain it post-Brexit.

However, though both nations are NATO allies, Belgium's deputy prime minister Georges Gilkinet, member of the green coalition-member Ecolo party has blocked the licence due to 'opposition to nuclear weapons and the arms industry,' ...

Time to expel Belgium. Let the Red Chinese take over...the “Green” Party should get along very well with them.

The perfumed princes in Brussels see their artificial importance waning and are flailing away incoherently, what’s new, right?

It’s about time the citizens demand their sovereignty and national identity back from those Belgian Eurotrash Tyrants.

>>The technology that Belgium is blocking is a specialised isostatic press used to handle nuclear waste, a piece of technology made only by a company in Antwerp.

>>The UK’s Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) uses the press as part of its manufacturing and maintenance of nuclear warheads.

Ecoterrorism is terrorism, so, no surprise that the Greens would support unilateral disarmament. What are their FR nicks? The anti-Brexiteers engineered the removal of Boris Johnson and want Brexit dismantled piecemeal.

I’m just having evil thoughts when I read about the “intellectual elites” and the “open border power brokers”.. and all the “smart people that just KNOW how everyone should live their lives...

.... but wouldn’t it be funny to have video of an EU conference.... say, on climate control.... or opening up the borders for North African immigrations... or some half baked intellectual idea about world peace without borders

.....and Russia decides.... to have sunrise at about 11:30 at night in Brussels, Stockholm, Berlin, Warsaw, Paris, London and.... any other city in Ukraine. JUST THE LOOK ON THEIR FACES would make me smile as the elites turn to toast and chaos turns the rest of them to targets from citizens looking to blame someone for the catastrophe of a real 3rd World War.

schadenfreude....
