There are a number of you saying one shouldn't criticize Belgium for not delivering enough armament to Ukraine because they don't have a lot themselves.
...
The Netherlands has donated 85+ tanks to Ukraine and is looking to buy dozens more while not owning any tanks themselves.

This isn't your typical Dutch-Belgian rivalry. Whether it's supporting Ukraine or bolstering the strength of its own armed forces, Belgium is running an absolute shitshow.
So don't give me that 'stop bullying Belgium' crap. Other countries are investing billions into their armed forces to meet emerging threats. Belgium's Ministry of Defence just paid ESA €100 million to so that Europe's next astronaut would be Belgian.
An astronaut? Seriously? That's what you think is responsible defence spending at a time when the Belgian Army is basically the only NATO member without any type of air defence system? No SAM systems, no MANPADS, nothing.
You're free-riding. Step the fuck up or get out.
