According to Grok, you could cover the cost of everyone’s flights from Toronto to Montreal for 180 to 300 years with the estimated price tag to build Alto high-speed rail. On Alto, you would also have to pay hundreds per ticket and there would be a taxpayer subsidy.
Correct. Moreover, if you wished to sortie anti-air-warfare missile destroyers to the region to defend your own right to conduct peaceful commerce through international waters, as is legal under international law, you could. You have good ethical reasons to be reluctant to do so, but you have the capability if you so wish. The United Kingdom took at least a week to sortie a single missile destroyer. Which they had to do because not a single surface-to-air missile battery or even a single squadron of Typhoon fighters was present at RAF Akrotiri to provide the base the most basic of defensive cover. And their ships are unable to engage medium range or intermediate range ballistic missiles... unlike those of Japan. Some of our allies have taken their obligations more seriously than others. We can all see who it is.
Genocide and hunger across the planet but here's a cool picture from a distance so you can be proud of yourself in your meritless complicity.
