Italy vs Spain, who would win in a war?

Italy has more equipment but they have to believe in the war or they will lose.

very difficult to say, italian navy is larger, but I think spaniards have better elan.

airforces evenly matched.

ground forces, I think spanish rifles and small arms are great , I own a Cetme!

Spain has 300+ LEO-2 so in ground they are superior.Italy has a better Navy and in Air things are equal.

^^^

lol italy has 5 times better airforce then gay spain

Both nations could do better militarily for being former colonial powers.

^ Belgium had a colony too, doesn't really mean a lot eh

Leopold II was amazingly brutal. The Congo was a dam* mess.

Still, could you please enlighten me on the Flemish and Walloon relations? I understand there are different regions where the main language changes, but how serious are thoughts about division and what is viewed as Belgian in your opinions?

Belgian, a summary:
3 "regions" Flanders (6M inhabitants, Dutch speaking), Brussels (1M inhabitants, mainly French speaking but it's the historical capital of Flanders) and Wallony (3M inhabitants, French speaking).

The French speaking part of Belgium has as much political weight as the Dutch speaking part although they are a minority.
Flanders is VERY wealthy and pours billions of euros each year into Wallony.
Unemployment in Flanders is about 6%, in Wallony it's almost 15% !

The Flemish have had enough of this situation and don't want to pay for social programs in the south. Flanders has no problem with solidarity but just giving money to the lazy Walloons must halt.
The Flemish have been oppressed up til the '60 by the French speakers, for example, only in 1850, 30 years after the creation of Belgium, was Dutch recognised as an official language.

Flanders wants more autonomy, Wallony is scared of more autonomy and wants to keep the status quo.
