Defending the Belgians

 Not the imperialist, colonialist state of Belgium as it was in 1914 - the Belgian people.

I am asserting that this is not colonialist (or any other specific form of imperialism).

I never said "that America should intervene in Belgium" I would say that the Belgiums have the right to get money and military aid from whomever they want. This would be true whether we are talking about the capitalist state of today's Belgium or a (hypothetical) Free Workers' Commune of Communes. In the US I would not campaign for US aid to Belgium, but I do not object to Belgian's (under whatever political set-up) taking aid from anywhere, including the Kingdom of Hells leading Demon, the Devil. They have a right to defend themselves and I would , at last, have a good word to say about that gentleman Wayne Price in this place.

Of course, I would prefer if they were committed to internationalist revolution as their key defense. Revolutionary anarchists should not give any support to the Belgium state, which does and has done all sorts of things we reject--including using conscription, which I oppose. I don't care if the German state crushes any state. I care deeply if the Knouto-German state crushes non-combatent people. That they are currently ruled by a state (and many mistakenly support that state) is too bad, but does not mean that anarchists should not be in solidarity with them against the aggressor.
