Small units of Taiwan's military ground forces have been trained by a U.S. special operations unit and a contingent of Marines, who have been secretly operating in that country, The Wall Street Journal is reporting.

Some two dozen members of U.S. special-operations and support troops have been conducting the training in an effort to strengthen Taiwan's defenses in light of concerns about potential aggression by China.

Officials tell the paper that American forces have been conducting the training for at least a year.

Dear Americans just there temporarily as Taiwan advisors:

Don’t be concerned. You will be safely out of there soon. Just the like the Vietnam advisors in 1950s.

First ones known:
September 1950, President Harry Truman sent a Military Assistance Advisory Group (MAAG) to Vietnam to assist the French in the First Indochina war.
Fall of Saigon was April 30, 1975.

Not “secret” if it’s blaring all over the interwebs.

China won’t have to fire a shot. The Thai gov, once presented with a formal declaration of hostilities by China will decide not to engage in a bloody, destructive war they cannot win, will immediately surrender.

Agree.

They should have added a meme of a guy with his index finger to his lips saying "Hey, don't tell the Chinese. This is a Newsmax exclusive secret scoop." /S

Sadly, China can probably do it without firing a shot.

Blockade. Pull cargo ships to their ports and start off loading tanks and troops. Start rolling through the streets.

“yeah... Taiwan will fall in hours if China attacks.”

It will have to be an attack from within Taiwan. We will know immediately if China attacks as would Taiwan. Watch for an increase in police activity.

And the Chinese don’t already know this? They have spies, satellites and intel agencies, too.

Hell they have willing spies in Congress. This isn’t a surprise to them.

China will attack. And Taiwan will lose to them. No way they can win.

Or like the Americans abandoned in Afghanistan and forbidden by Biden to return to The States.

If there are US troops in Taiwan, they’ll be homos and trannies, teaching the Taiwan military how to properly surrender.

If they are doing it secretly how did they find out?
