You're right, it's so weird to talk about US troops being ready to join in on the genocide as Israel threatens to go into Rafah. You really got me there!
You already got real sources, you just refuse to acknowledge them because you're just here to troll, and I'm not going to keep feeding you. Nobody's buying what you're selling here. Maybe you should take some time away from the keyboard and think about why you keep getting bans.
Evidently you have reading comprehension problems. Because the article isn't discussing the Ukrainian troops from 2022, but the new foreign legion troops that are French troops.
France has sent its first troops officially to Ukraine. They have been deployed in support of the Ukrainian 54th Independent Mechanized Brigade in Slavyansk. The French soldiers are drawn from France’s 3rd Infantry Regiment, which is one of the main elements of France’s Foreign Legion (Légion étrangère).
Indeed, at one point in the video he points out how the current rail network in China cost the same as US military budget for a single year. A maglev network would basically make domestic flying obsolete I think. If you can just go to the rail station downtown, hop on, and get off downtown of another city, that's straight up better experience than having to go to an airport, wait for boarding, etc. It's also far better for the environment.
Maglevs tend to have wheels that get deployed on approach, so I don't think that's a big issue. The property owners is likely a trickier problem to deal with, but even if you make it to the edge of the city and take public transit from there, that's still pretty convenient.
You said that evading conscription is disgraceful, implying that people have a duty to die for the regime which is what allows the war to continue. The whole premise is the height of idiocy. People have no obligation to go and die for a western puppet regime in Ukraine.
Nope, nobody has any moral duty to defend a regime they don't believe in. Period. The fact that you think people have some moral duty to fight makes you a psychopath. The war is already lost, and prolonging this horror is what's actually immoral. Every single scumbag who advocated for prolonging it has blood on their hands.
Slowing down in the production of goods and services, measured by GDP growth, is typically not seen as desirable as it represents economic stagnation that can lead to various negative consequences. These include inflationary pressures due to increased cost of production inputs without a corresponding increase in output, higher unemployment rates, reduced government revenue due to decreased business activity, decreased investor confidence leading to market volatility and limited access to capital for businesses, increased debt burden on the government limiting social programs and infrastructure investment.
That doesn't mean you can't run an economy that's not based on growth, but Europe operates under capitalism, and these are the problems capitalist economies tend to see when growth slows down.
