Over the past year, U.S. Marines and special operations forces have been in Taiwan, training their military in secret. According to The Wall Street Journal, training their military directly responds to China being aggressive with its claim on the island.
Training Taiwan's Forces
Special operators are training small groups of Taiwanese ground forces. The Marines are focused on training the maritime forces on small boats, according to anonymous U.S. officials.
The Chinese military has flown an incredible amount of flights around the island, hitting 149 military flights in 4 days. The People's Liberation Army flew by a total of 56 times on Monday alone.
The activity on Taiwain hits at a time when the tension between the United States and China has hit a record high. The two behemoths are clashing on everything from human rights to trade and COVID-19.
Avoiding War
According to The Wall Street Journal, the Chinese foreign ministry stated they "will take all necessary steps to protects its sovereignty and territorial integrity."
When Military.com asked the Marine Corps about the operation, they steered them to the Pentagon, whose spokesman did not offer many details.
"I don't have any comments on specific operations, engagements, or training, but I would like to highlight that our support for and defense relationship with Taiwan remains aligned against the current threat posed by the People's Republic of China."
John Supple
Supple said the U.S. wants the tension in the area to end peacefully. In 1954, Taiwan entered into a mutual defense pact with the United States.
Taiwan's Independence
Though China has allowed independence from Taiwan in the past, they have currently become more dominant over the island and their people.
According to the Chinese tabloid, The Global Times, U.S. involvement in the area would end in China needing to "destroy and expel U.S. troops in Taiwan by military means, and at the same time realize reunification by force."
The tabloid, which is thought to be used by the Communist Party, wrote the editorial because of a tweet that has been deleted by Sen. John Cornyn from Texas incorrectly stating that 30,000 troops were in Taiwan.
However, the United States has "strategic ambiguity" with the county and does not spell out whether or not they would actually help if China attacked. The U.S. holds the policy to stay firmly in the middle of China and Taiwan.
So sad, Biden will probably bail on them just like he did Afghanistan.
biden and our worthless congress WILL bail like the yellow bellied cowards they are!
Interesting, the gov't GIVES our ENEMIES 90+ BILLION worth of state of the art guns, night vision sights, aircraft etc but they want my poor old disabled veterans azz to turn in his 6 shooter!!
Not happening!
Need 2 make Taiwan a Island fortress X100 vs Pacific Islands in WW2 via Japan, more missiles, torpedo defenses, mines,
Or maybe make Taiwan the 51st state, then install Airforce, Army, Marine bases, and etc. there..... and maybe some nuclear warhead siloes......
Kidding! Wa wa wa waaaaa.
Or am I?
Good Morning believe me or not but I myself and our President Donald J Trump don't trust that chinese leader as the indian would say speak with fork tongue and watch you'll see 👀👀mark my words when the time is right they'll invade tiwian there just waiting because biden and administration is in china's pocket remember election is coming republicans United We Stand Divided We Fall Remember M A G A Americans
I am sure that the CCP is scared to death that Biden will retaliate once he recovers from his naps which take up most of his days. Every foe in the world is licking their chops to see how vulnerable we really are.
Our military leaders are too busy designing outfits for pregnant soldiers and teaching critical race garbage to our soldiers and recruits into the military academies.
Unless our Generals remember these word Loose Lips Sink Ships they might as well open the front door!
Milley has already done this by treason to our nation.
If Milley was going around POTUS TRUMP you know damn well he is talking to China with sleepy Joe in charge, does milley know when China is going to attack the U.S.??
No……Magoo Milley and China have to drink a few beers first.
The front door has been open since January 20, 2021
It's really idiotic for officials to speak about things of this magnitude, especially without permission !!!! How stupid, leaks like this will cause a WAR !!!!!!!
IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT THEY (MSM) PRINT THIS SHIT, SO CHINA KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON !!!!! TIME TO JAIL THOSE STUPID FUKERS FOR SHARING CLASSIFIED INFORMATION !!!!!!!!
Oh…..no….”It’s news….you understand. We can’t withhold news….!
We hope we can help Taiwan , but with a mindless dictator in charge of this country who knows what will happen.
The Communist Chinese need to back down . They can afford to be nuked to loose their over population.
With Pathetic incompetent Biden in Control, no one is safe.
Other countries know, it’s the Perfect time to get what we want.
I do believe Taiwan should be defended. The only problem is, that we have incompetent leadership who is affiliated personally with the Chinese government and in my opinion, he will not honor the alliance and will let Taiwan fall to the Communists, which, if you take a good look at what is happening in Washington, is exactly what the administration here is trying to turn this country into....A Totally Government Controlled Dictatorship....ie...Communism!
Biden will do nothing for Taiwan. He's destroyedAfghanistan and turned his back on Israel. He is trying to destroy the United States.. He is a spineless jellyfish. That's why his popularity is in the toilet at under 38%
What the Chinese should realize is, that they all would be speaking Japanese by now if the US had not saved their asses during WW2. How so ungrateful they are and with such short selective memories. Instead of the US doing small boat training they should be setting up and doing Stinger missile training instead.
We see it as just an island, the Chinese see it just off their coast where American military ships can pull in and or help Taiwan monitor their communications system, their ships etc.....we have been training the Taiwanese to defend themselves ...
China sees an overwhelming weakness in the Biden regime that they plan on capitalizing on. If we (Biden) let them take Taiwan it will be to our everlasting shame. China apparently thinks they can do whatever they want having Biden in their hip pocket and his cowardice and that of his staff, ie., Milley, Austin, Mayorkas, etc., and they are right!!
