U.S. Army Paratroopers Capturing Chinese Outposts? People’s Liberation Army Scoffs At The Idea
forbes.com ^ | Aug 12, 2020 | David Axe
The U.S. Army is rehearsing for a dangerous but potentially decisive role in a possible war between the United States and China.
Army paratroopers have practiced flying long distance then jumping onto China’s island outposts in the disputed waters of the China Seas. Seizing outposts—and the strategic airstrips they host—could give U.S. forces new bases from which to strike back against the Chinese.
But the Chinese military scoffed at the idea. “The assumption that U.S. troops could capture China's islands and reefs in the South China Sea is no more than media speculation,” Xu Hailin wrote in Global Times, an official mouthpiece of the People’s Liberation Army.
That’s untrue. The Pentagon actively is preparing for just such a contingency. Back in July, 350 paratroopers from the Army’s 25th Infantry Division flew in Air Force C-17 transports from Alaska to Guam and practiced dropping onto, and capturing, a simulated enemy airfield.
American troops landing on a Chinese island would represent a serious act of aggression and a major escalation of any conflict, Xu posited. “If the U.S. military really reaches out to capture China's islands and reefs, it will declare the start of a total war with China.”

"There is no role for the U.S. military in determining the outcome of an American election,"
Key word "DETERMINING". This is true.
"Determining the outcome" even more true.
National security is another issue.

Recently, Monkey Werx mentioned Guam - I do not recall if he was referencing a flight or a ship. Initially he seemed excited, then downplayed it by pointing out that if there were “an attack” on the US, our troops would not be going there as they would be defending our borders, something to that effect. This was pre-internet hacking or whatever it was.

Nah, the war started long ago-China started it. US Military can finish it.

Well, these NOT Chinese islands are sand piles built on reefs and shoal waters now claimed by the Chinese (Imperialists). The underlying reefs historically belong to the Phillipines. In addition, China released a Bio-weapon on us, interefered in our Election, spys on us, steals our technology. Acts of war. (Something we really don’t really want.)
Thank you for the thread! Time for Bed!
I am worried about the vaccine agenda, but even more worried about the agenda of Communist China.
China has created a tremendous advantage by seemingly taking out President Trump, installing their own puppet, and successfully enforcing a near-censorship blackout of major media and social media. They have sabotaged American cities with their treasonous mole politicians, and Americans have SO FAR gone along with their abolishing some of our most fundamental rights.
SCOTUS can still act ... but I for one am losing the hopes and the confidence that I had in our 5-4 majority.
I am just wondering ... What if China is getting ready to hit us again, while the very Presidency is in question?
I do expect that Q will continue as a focal point, taking to the dark web if necessary. If the quislings had their way, even the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence would be outlawed.
I do think that China and our other enemies have GREATLY UNDERESTIMATED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
But again ... I would not be surprised to see them press their advantage, especially if the weak puppets ChinaBiden and Commie actually take office.
JUST SO CHINA WILL KNOW: Americans cannot be humiliated by the actions of a FALSE PRESIDENT.
ChinaBiden will NEVER BE THE ACTUAL PRESIDENT.
