The Belgian Defense Minister does not rule out the possibility of troops being deployed to the country's capital.

The situation in Brussels has become dramatic. Therefore, Belgian Defense Minister Theo Francken does not rule out the possibility of troops being deployed to the capital.

The official stated this in an interview for the Belgian newspaper Le Soir.

The situation has become dramatic.

- said Franken.

The Belgian Defense Minister noted that such a definition concerns not only security but also the political and social situation. This greatly worries the official.

Franken noted a statement attributed to him that military units would be deployed to the city this year, but he said he had not previously commented on this matter. The minister asserted that this question remains open. Franken stated that, while speaking about plans to deploy troops to Brussels, he would neither confirm nor deny them.

Is it possible to deploy troops to the streets by the end of the year? I didn't say "yes," but I didn't say "no" either, contrary to what the media might have reported.

- stated the head of the Belgian Ministry of Defense.

He also confirmed that Minister of Security and Interior Bernard Quentin had approached him with a request to deploy troops to Brussels to patrol the streets. This means that maintaining law and order in the capital could become the responsibility of the Belgian army.

Last month, the Belgian Interior Minister spoke of the possible deployment of military units to Brussels, which could begin before the end of the year. This could be due to the police's inability to combat street crime.

Trump is deploying the National Guard to cities. Okay, so it's not exactly an army.

Let them send troops into Brussels, what do we care? The Germans sent troops in and it all went smoothly, but what about their own troops? Who are they?

By unspoken decree, Bander-Nazis will be rounded up and sent to Ukraine to defend the gay-European democracy with weapons in hand.

Brussels has long been a mess; 10 km from NATO headquarters there is a black ghetto where the police don't even dare enter during the day.

[Sky strike fighter]

Something's wrong in Western capitals. They're deploying the National Guard to their own cities during peacetime. When has this ever happened?

[TermNachTer]

It's been like this for a long time, and not just in the capitals. Marseille is synonymous with total chaos in France. When a Frenchman wants to say he lives in a normal city, he says, "But we're not Marseille."

You are not at all familiar with the modern geography of Europe: - Marseille is the northernmost city in Africa

[TermNachTer]

I haven't heard such a definition, but in general, it's not far from the truth))) and this is not my quote, but that of my friend Olga from Douarnenez)))

[Pete mitchell]

I had to work in Marseille occasionally… the locals warned me not to go downtown. Everyone lives in the outskirts; the city is simply off-limits.

[Pete mitchell]

Here it is - the north of modern Africa.
Right where Luc Besson filmed 'Taxi'

[TermNachTer]

The movie's not bad, but it's a movie, not real life. And in real life, life isn't so fun for Marseille police officers.

[alexoff]

You'd think if you forced the rabble in the ghetto to fight less in the streets, everything would suddenly get better in society.

[TermNachTer]

The problem isn't within the ghettos, but that the ghettos are gradually spreading. Harlem was once a very prestigious area of ​​New York.

[alexoff]

Housing in Harlem is now astronomically expensive, just like in New York City, where blacks are leaving due to the high cost, and people with money are buying up. The ghetto is a consequence of unemployment and poverty, not some evil aura, like in the Evil Dead movies, that turns people into possessed people.

[TermNachTer]

A third-generation black man on unemployment benefits isn't particularly concerned about housing costs.

[alexoff]

The landlord simply hires stronger black people, and they evict him by the scruff of his neck. And housing taxes in the US are highly dependent on market value; in expensive areas, they're fleecing you, regardless of welfare. By the way, there's a Hasidic neighborhood near Harlem. Guess who owns everything and who owns the apartments?

[TermNachTer]

Well, it's not hard to guess who's name is Kushner. Then again, Trump has also hosted events at a New York development.

Trump deploys National Guard to cities.

And rightly so. Especially in cases where local authorities (and, characteristically, democrats!) don't see the need to combat crime or certain types of it for political or racial reasons.

Quote: Blacksmith 55

Well, yes, it’s not exactly an army.

Not quite legally. But in terms of equipment and training, it's practically the same, including armor and aircraft.

The French were there, the Germans were there, but what were the Russians supposed to do there?
Another lie, 90% of our population doesn’t know where it is.
Well, okay, I sailed the seas, but the people from beyond the Urals don’t know such “lapserdaks”.

Why think so poorly of our people? More than 10% of the living have received a Soviet education.

There are still more than 10% of those alive who received a Soviet education.

So the younger one wasn't raised well. He needed to make up for the shortcomings at school.

[Wladyslaw]

I've been to that village. It's beautiful there. And as for turning their cities into ghettos, it's their own fault.

[torbas41]

The people from beyond the Urals and in the Urals certainly haven't sailed the seas, but they do swim in oceans of oil, gas, and so on and so forth, so much so that they know Brussels and especially Zurich very well.

Good evening. I hope there will be pogroms.

What the hell is going on there, that the troops are acting as police? Yes, Russia, without all these distractions, is certainly lagging behind in its democratic development.

[Slavka]

There are so many migrants there, people are afraid to walk the streets. The police can't do anything.

What kind of madness is going on there that the troops are acting as police?

So, it turns out, Belgium has an army? And how many divisions do they have? (As the great one used to say)

[pharmacist]

The Belgians have reached rock bottom, following in the footsteps of the United States. The police can't cope, they need the troops. The democrats have driven the West to their knees.

The police can't cope, call in the troops.

You should give them a minus. I don't give them a minus on principle (I've done it a couple of times, I'm guilty). These are cadets. Don't mock the unprepared with words. We have that in Russia too. Normal people don't mock children.
You demonstrated your level and, by the way, the status of the higher education institution that allowed this.

[Brturin]

Brussels is the headquarters of NATO and the EU, but how can you make "democratic" decisions when the army is on the streets?

[Vasyan1971]

This may be done because the police have become unable to cope with crime on the streets.

And this is in the capital of "European freedom"?
On the other hand, this is democratic street crime, why fight it?

[rocket757]

The police have become unable to cope with crime on the streets.

What's wrong with that? They can't cope, why?

[solar]

A wonderful article, but it's hard to understand what's so special about Brussels that they're planning to send troops there. A true masterpiece of journalism.

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

Yeah, right.. The Belgian army, some real warriors.. Even the Wehrmacht still laughs at the strength and "power" of this army..

[Alex priest]

I was in London two weeks ago, where theft of items worth less than 1000 euros is no longer considered a crime and the police don't deal with such matters.

Hi, don't spread this information, otherwise our police will find out that 1000 euros is small change and won't work on thefts of less than that amount.

[Artyom Savin]

London two weeks ago, there was a theft of a value not exceeding 1000 euros

Are they paying in euros in London? Labour has brought this to an end. What was Brexit all about!?

While they are fighting the Russian "threat", the troops must already defend their capitals from another enemy.

Russia's immigration policy of importing "valuable specialists" into our country couldn't be worse. The diaspora is now effectively a second power.

The police have become unable to cope with crime on the streets.

Soon we will get to this point too.
In my area of ​​the city, the police were "optimized" by merging with another area of ​​the city due to high rent for the premises.
Another reason is the lack of personnel due to extremely low salaries and high workload.

Undemocratic as it may be, I hope the Belgians will fight fiercely for their rights against the infringements of the totalitarian Belgian regime.

[slesarg1965]

When an army is not engaged in protecting a country's population from an external threat, but in fighting protesting citizens, it's called a dictatorship. But Europe is the one shouting about democracy the loudest.

[Victor Yasny]

Well, that's what democracy is - you have to tighten it up in time, otherwise the "rulers" will be washed away

maybe some normal guys will come to power there?
(thanks for the downvotes, indifference is much worse))

[APASUS]

Democracy in Europe is increasingly taking on bizarre meanings.
