Thousands of youngsters have joined the army since October 7 — and it is illegal to refuse. Sofia Orr is likely to become the first woman since then to be jailed for refusing military service, but believes it is ‘wrong to take children and make them into soldiers’

    And the US doesn’t force you to renounce your citizenship

    It does if you don’t want to continue paying US taxes no matter where you live and work.

    other countries that don’t allow dual citizenship; Germany and Denmark for example don’t allow it.

    I don’t know about Germany, but that hasn’t been true of Denmark for nearly a decade.

    I get the feeling that your source is located somewhere between your spine and the backs of your thighs.

      I was wrong about Denmark. I did some research last year and apparently what I found was wrong.

      But the US has Tax treaties, the FEIE, and the Foreign Tax Credit programs for expats to avoid paying US tax when overseas. But you still need to file with the US.
