World on the brink as Taiwan admits US troops are now stationed on Chinese border
The Express ^ | 03.20.2024 | LUCY SARRET

Taiwan has officially confirmed the presence of US troops stationed on its islands in the Taiwan Strait permanently, a development that could further escalate mounting tensions with China.

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) passed in 2023 facilitated the deployment of these troops to conduct training programs for Taiwanese frontline forces.

The move comes as China continues to assert its disputed claim over Taiwan, viewing it as a renegade province despite never having ruled it. The heightened military activities by China in and around the Taiwan Strait have prompted Taiwan to bolster its defense capabilities.

What has the Obama/Biden Administration NOT effed-up? How much closer to WW3 do we have to get?

Worse yet my fellow democrat voters are so imbecilic they are still rabid against Trump.

I’m not worried. We have trannie equity in the military, which makes them invincible.

This is a fine thing that comes from Trump changes in policy.

We may as well have our troops on Chinese border. After all, they have troops inside our country. Thanx Biden. //

Only if the other side has all soldiers that are biologically female. The other side will then say it isn’t fair.

According to the Hank Johnson Theorem, Taiwan is on the brink of capsizing.

The economies of Russia, China and the USA are all severely hurting and the debts the governments have (at least China and the USA) are basically impossible to pay off,...

So yes we will have engagements that lead up to nuclear war.

U.S. Troops stationed on Taiwan, is not new, news.

Red China is no more “surprised” than we are about communist Chinese agents stationed on U.S. soil.

“Taiwan has officially confirmed the presence of US troops stationed on its islands in the Taiwan Strait permanently, a development that could further escalate mounting tensions with China.

Questions are, how many are there and are they prepared to take an offensive? If they are a training force to assist Taiwan, then the article is trying to imply something that isn’t true that the US is deploying troops to defend Taiwan.

We have training troops all over the world at locations. This just may be another.

I remember my time in 1968-76 that we ran B-52s to Viet Nam from CCK Airbase on Taiwan. They moved the 52s from Okinawa because the locals complained and were afraid of accidents and bombs. We replaced them with a fleet of KC-135s. Interestingly enough that satisfied them. They weren’t thinking about what a fully loaded KC could do if it crashed on takeoff.

If young people vote for Biden and he wins, they’d better be prepared to go to war.
