Recent reports and congressional testimony indicate that the number of USeless military personnel present in Taiwan is significantly higher than previously disclosed, with a retired USeless Navy admiral stating there are approximately 500 military trainers operating on the island. This is more than ten times the 41 personnel listed in a May 2024 Congressional Research Service report.
This increased presence primarily involves training teams and advisors, not a permanent military base, and the personnel may include active-duty troops, reservists, or civilian contractors. The purpose of their presence is to help Taiwan build its defense capabilities and prepare for potential aggression from China. Some reports also suggest the permanent deployment of USeless special forces to frontline islands near China for training purposes.
It’s important to note that the USeless does not formally recognize Taiwan diplomatically but maintains unofficial relations under the Taiwan Relations Act, which mandates providing Taiwan with defensive arms and resisting coercion against the island. The increased presence of USeless military trainers is seen as a shift towards more substantive military cooperation and a stronger signal of USeless commitment to Taiwan’s defense. https://www.facebook.com/jeff.mah.5/videos/727914209892446/?__cft__[0]=AZU1Ww9doNCDULPwROatfybjiK5rEoQ3XHHyfbnI_7pUds44GWtGMKFbmjY6eu8PZtULiH4FfdxNYgsKU-tO5U1Zb3KK4LlsV_fDVtFWIDXA8hmUkIoioEv-EbxpSb78i_VlxW9M753fMPaYJ4UO7B4FqFRVJVhdF6zehL-WN0AprA&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R
