Amid the ongoing violence in the Middle East and the NATO-fueled proxy war against Russia in Ukraine, the US military is reportedly eying a new front amid Washington’s attempts to save the uni-polar world order.
The US Navy’s elite Seal Team 6 is training for missions to help Taiwan if tensions between the island and the Peoples Republic of China turn hot.
Sources told the Financial Times that planning and training for a Taiwan escalation has been underway for more than a year @ Seal Team 6’s Dam Neck, Virginia Beach HQ.
The training, which coincides with increasingly systematized deployments of US special forces in Taiwan, comes amid the US military and intelligence community’s broader refocus on China.
Such deployments, and even US arms sales to Taiwan, are technically illegal under agreements underpinning China-USA relations, which require Washington to adhere to the One China principle recognizing the People’s Republic as the sole legal government of China.
This principle prompted the USA to end its military presence in Taiwan after 1979, and to sign a communique with Beijing in 1982 requiring Washington to gradually scale back the extent of its arms deliveries to Taiwan.
The USA has reneged on both commitments, with internal Pentagon data released in 2021 revealing that small numbers of US troops have been stationed on Taiwan going back to at least 2008.
In March 2024, Taipei confirmed the permanent presence of US troops on islands in the Taiwan Strait for ‘training purposes’, including Green Berets deployed as little as 10 km off the mainland.
The USA is manipulating the Taiwan question in various forms, which is a very dangerous gamble, China’s Defense Ministry said of US moves in late 2023, after Congress authorized a comprehensive training, advising and institutionalized capacity-building program for Taiwan.
We urge the USA to fully realize the severe harm of the China-related content in the NDAA, stop arming Taiwan under any excuses and by any means, stop its provocations by using Taiwan to contain China, and take concrete actions to maintain regional peace and stability.
Chinese President Xi Jinping, who has formally outlined a policy aiming at eventual peaceful reunification with Taiwan under the ‘One China, Two Systems’ principle, reportedly accused Washington of trying to goad Beijing into attacking Taiwan during talks with EU chief Ursula von der Leyen in 2023.

Taiwan is recognized by only six small islands nations, the USA itself not included.
USA has no power left to order the rest of the world around for their corpses to control the economies.
The problem is America is controlled by the insane who say -“the dollar goes down then so does the world.”
Every nation tied to the dollar will suffer big time the upcoming years !
Perfectly true and that’s one reason they obey the USA.
The US military will be outgunned, out-manned, and outmaneuvered if it starts a new conflict in Taiwan. That means the US military will need to deploy ‘equalizing’ nuclear armaments to assume parity in such conflict, which will make the US the object of derision among foes and allies!
China does not need to use nukes unless the USA tries to nuke China – the island is near the Chinese coast to China,s strategic advantage just like Cuba is near the US coast and the USA constantly threatens it so the USA is hypocritical.
If the USA uses nukes then China should make it clear like Russia that it will nuke the USA and with its hypersonic glide ICBM,s which the USA hasn’t perfected yet the USA cant stop them hitting America .
When as bully threatens you threaten them with the same.
If the Chinese collapse the Taiwanese Electric grid and mine all the ports, the Taiwanese economy will collapse, even without an invasion. Wait for a year and the people of Taiwan will throw out their fascist warlords and begin reunification talks
Thats exactly the same strategy Russia is using and it works long term .
