The U.S. military is planning to quadruple its troop presence in Taiwan for training missions, the latest in a series of Pentagon plans to deter a Chinese invasion, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing anonymous U.S. officials.
In coming months, the U.S. will send between 100 and 200 troops compared to about 30 a year ago to expand a secret training program with the Taiwanese military, officials told the Journal.
The plan would entail the largest deployment of American forces to the island in decades as the U.S. government hopes to equip Taiwan with the capabilities to defend itself from a potential Chinese invasion without provoking further aggression, the officials said.
“One of the difficult things to determine is what really is objectionable to China,” one of the officials told the Journal. “We don’t think at the levels that we’re engaged in and are likely to remain engaged in the near future that we are anywhere close to a tipping point for China, but that’s a question that is constantly being evaluated and looked at specifically with every decision involving support to Taiwan.”
The scaled-up program will involve training Taiwanese troops on U.S. weapons systems and and complex military maneuvers, the officials said.

Yes, let’s tell China what our military and friendlies are doing...dumbass!
/s I hope the the island won’t tip over if we add to many troops. /s 0ff
Tipping point? Is Taiwan going to tip over from all those troops? If it can happen to Guam, it could happen to Taiwan.
Yessirree, 200 angry trannies are gonna help the Nationalists stem the tide of a couple million PLA invaders.
Yup, without a doubt.
Doesn’t Taiwan have its own army?
China helped cover the 30 trillion dollars plus national debt of the US.
Now comes the payback in the style of Ukraine trolling to see if China can be provoked to attack and start a war.
They should send all that equipment and ammo to Taiwan instead of Ukraine.

Our “boys” won’t even have time to ask the PLA invaders their preferred pronouns.
Sounds like a modern woke remake of 300
What the hell. Trillions more federal spending.
Yes, it is so smart to send ground troops to essentially what would be an air/sea campaign.

Suicide mission. FJB.
Four to sixteen is not news. This is straight off of the Beltway propaganda fax machines.
Taiwan is going to be “Ukrainized.”
Poland wants more US troops also.

Haha!
Not so funny.
Are you claiming ALL of our military are transvestites?
I looked it up:
“According to a 2016 report by RAND Corporation, there were a maximum of 10,790 transgender people serving in the US military and the reserves, which is about 0.7% of all active-duty and reserve service members. However, this estimate has a wide possible range, with 2,150 as the minimum figure.” From the New Bing—Search.
Probably more since Biden, but not anywhere near a majority.
