Tfw not even the prime minister believes that Belgium is real.
The Greater Grand Duchy of Luxembourg begs to differ…
Bourgondische buutnlaanders.
The world power balance is about to do a 360, cause Netherlands doesn’t know how not to do their worst.
We will rule not just the waterlands but also everyone’s imagination!
Aansluit of “Belgium” when?
Hell no, they not gonna trick us in rejoining. It will bankrupt four generations before their infrastructure is on par. Flanders Oblast, you can stay independent!
Even though Flanders should join the motherland again, and we should then look at a way to integrate it in such a way that they will have an equal say in government – people underestimate how different Belgians (also Dutch-speaking Belgians) and Dutch people are.
Imo, culturally, Belgians are much closer to French people. I have worked with quite some Belgians, but the deeper you go into Belgium (people from Antwerp were generally kind of OK), the more French it gets culturally.
Way more hierarchical (which is not difficult, in the Netherlands we do not respect hierarchy at all, but still), way more indirect, political and diplomatic (which is annoying as fuck and creates this backstabbing culture that people that have ever worked with French colleagues will recognize – you know, putting the boss in CC here and there, having a backroom chat to throw you under the bus as it seems right for their own career, and so forth).
He should wait for a special tax bracket like his ancestors had when they were part of the Netherlands, they’ve paid more taxes as catholics and they were at the lower ranks of the state.
Ok but at this point Belgium is a liability so why would the Netherlands even want an Anschluss
Would be a fantastic national selection football team.
United Netherlands and Dutch East Indies, put under a corporate charter as God intended, chefs kiss. The boys are back in town.
Makkers, het is tijd voor de A A N S L U I T.
Does that mean we get the Belgian army too?
No more road bumps on the way to Paris then, ehm, I mean, Moscow
Its going to cost us billions upon billions to get belgian roads up to dutch standard. Not sure if its worth..
It’s genuinely depressing how lobotomised the Belgians are, as if they didn’t have their own culture and traditions and needed to become part of another country to exert them. Politicians have taken advantage of this mental collapse and destroyed the country.
Seriously, so what if Belgium happens not to be a nation-state? At what point in history did it become necessary?Is that vague ideal more important tan their actual history? Can you imagine if the Swiss had this defeatist mentality?
The Dutch dealing with that whole mess is not fair for them. Do they even have a word for Balloon?
We’ll break up again within the year over the battle of Hagelslag vs Muizenstrontjes
Serious question, why does the prime minister of Belgium want to get rid of Belgium?
Translation: “we want to be adopted by the netherlands so they have to fix all of our problems while we play politicians in our little pillow fort (EU council)”
Can we get Eupen-Malmedy back then?
Te laat sukkels.
A proper Benelux country could be Switzerland 2.0
Just don’t say bonjour on the train when you arrive in Rotterdam
What a fucken traitor, also I bet he’s a protestant spy sent here to destabilise our good Catholic culture
Can this guy please stop. He’s taking L’s all the time.
Anschluss Holland?
Like most modern problems the root cause was the English Empire throwing a tantrum and not being able to accept the fact that the United Low Countries were rivaling them on the sea.
If Flanders (Northern part Belgium) still was part of the Dutch Republic, the Netherlands would posses the two biggest and busiest ports in all of the EU.
Number one being the port of Rotterdam. Special thanks to the Germans when they were in their problematic villain yet very fashionable fase in the 40’s thanks to them all of Rotterdam got really flat and ashy all of the sudden (wow i wonder how that happened) and had to rebuild everything thus getting the chance to modernize the port into the powerhouse it’s today.
Number Two being the port of Antwerp.
I’m a Dutchman from Turkish decent and love my country. We deserve to be united once again. The Low Lands is not complete in the current state. Also Belgium is a failed joke of a country, divided by 3 languages!
Okay I am down, but only if we can get the Germans to promise that they go through Switzerland next time they want to pay France a visit.
We would be a beer and deep fried foods superpower, though.
At least we can claim to have the most cuckold prime minister per capita.
Wtf would we want to be part of the “Netherlands”? Sure they do certain things better than us, but so what. Barry doesn’t want to become French because their baguettes are better. The Swedes don’t want to be Danish again.
This guy should just move there if he loves the place so much.
The Netherlands will take all of europe, even if it must stand on a pile of ash.
Just to clarrify, here he is talking about the “original” split in the 16/17’th century, not about the belgian revolt.
Fuck that noise
i would rather be wallonian than dutch! there i said it
