Taiwan admits US troops are now stationed on islands off the coast of China amid fears the region will spark World War Three
2024-03-22
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Taiwan defense minister Chiu Kuo-cheng appeared to admit US Special Forces are training the Taiwanese military for a potential conflict

  • If correct, US troops would be stationed on coastal islands far closer to mainland China than to Taiwan in an escalation of America's presence in the region

  • Chinese President Xi Jinping has repeatedly said he intends to 'reunify' Taiwan with China,
    ...yes, yes — but given recent revelations about Chinese equipment failures and preparations on the mainland for the coming civil war following the Communist Party losing the Mandate of Heaven, will the Chinese army actually be able to sustain even an invasion as close as Taiwan? Not that anyone can stop preparing just in case China actually can do it…
    while the US has vowed to support Taiwan in any potential invasion

With openly anti-USA and mentally ill types running DC. It is only logical that many of our enemies see a chance to take on the USA milk it for $$$$.

Also with the CCP providing so many basic household items and about of 70% of all USA medications. If Biden Regime gets into it with CCP, about 10% of those on serious life saving meds will die within 120 days.
