- Last month alone in
Brussels, there were three separate outbreaks of rioting and
looting on a major scale.
- If you penetrate the
thick cloud of professional indignation to scrutinize the
reality of the "capital of Europe", what you see in
many respects is actually a hell hole, one where socialism,
Islamism, riots and looting are the new normal.

police, backed by a water cannon, attempt to push back rioters in
the center of Brussels, Belgium, on November 12. Hundreds of
"youths" of foreign origin "celebrated" the
World Cup qualification of Morocco's soccer team by rioting and
injuring 22 police officers. (Image source: Ruptly video

When then-candidate Donald Trump noted in January
2016 that, thanks to mass immigration, Brussels was turning into a
hell hole, Belgian and European politicians presented a united
front at the (media) barricades: How dare he say such a thing?
Brussels, capital of the European Union, the very quintessence of
the post-modern world, the avant-garde of the coming new
"global civilization," a hell hole? Of course
assimilating newcomers is not always easy, and there may be
friction from time to time. But never mind, they said: Trump is a
buffoon, and anyway, he has zero chance of getting elected. Such
were the thoughts of those avid readers of The New York Times
International Edition and regular watchers of CNN International.
