I'm gonna be honest here. Taiwan controlling Kinmen islands is actually insane.
Definitely a big dick move to claim island that close to their shores
think this another way, if China really wants to take taiwan by force how could they even allow taiwan to control Kinmen.
@@UnfilteredCactus That is in their shores 😂. I don't even know if I'd call strategic or not. China probably has a 1/6 of its military force around that island.
@@UnfilteredCactusIt was the communists who took China from the ROC during the Chinese Civil War. Kinmen Island, Matsu Island, Penghu and Taiwan were the last strongholds of the ROC which the communists were unable to conquer.
@@anthonyrodrigues5032 ya i dont think Taiwan would even try to take keep control of those islands if China decides to attack lol
As a retired Marine I had to smile at how much footage was Marines for a Green Beret video
The Corp is looking great these days . I'm going to donate black and red skirts for all personnel for "sensitivity day" .
@@Pure_Wisdom253no they’re all overrated.
At least they didn’t call IFV’s, personal transport vehicles, and continuous track John deers tanks.
It's not a Green Beret video. There's multiple topics discussed here. The footage you're referring to is of Cobra Gold, the joint-training exercise currently being conducted between the USN/USMC and Thailand, something they explain.
@@captureitlive bet most of them are probably more physically fit than you
Taiwan is complaining about poor training so this is a good thing.
Some soldiers reported that most of them couldn't even hit a stationary target 20 feet in front of them. They need to know at least the basics of urban warfare to stand any sort of chance to repel a Chinese invasion.
Because they know a Chinese invasion is impossible to pull off. They would barely make the coast.
If you cant teach yourself how to zero a rifle in i have no hope for you against the chinese.

Take some lessons from Japan during the Second World War they knew a couple of things in island defense
Japanese and Vietnamese tunnels and traps were pretty effective
Classic warfare is out of trends now. Why bother to drop a missile when a virus could do a better job sheesh
Fucking crazy how they could keep an island n hold that shit down for months on end with little to no supplies
I agree
not the kamikaze part tho.
What gives the US military a massive advantage is being able to train in various biomes, terrains, and obstacles. Truely impressive.
Does China not also have this advantage? Are the Chinese not also able to train in various biomes, terrains, and obstacles?
@@IllisilUS been to different kind of war that's why they're far experienced... on negative part that's also why most middle east and some other countries hated US...
@@getmyuted US lost a lot of wars too (we haven’t won since ww2). But I do like our strategy of training other countries in our place.

The USMC has been doing this type of training on Okinawa since WWII.
The USMC has been training Japanese soldiers as recently as the Ukrainian invasion.
Didn’t help them in Vietnam.
Are you seriously comparing Okinawa to Taiwan
The USMC is hated by Okinawa locals.
meaning they have been wasting their time since then at taxpayers' expense.
Six miles is the distance from a side of my town to the center of the next 💀
SIX MILES? I dunno, seems awfully close to the hornet's nest.
Those soldiers are only placed there to be used as trip wire for an excuse for the US to go to war.
Cry about it
So what? Its literally their job. Do you even know what the main green berets functions are ?
Imagine if that was the us
Yup. Seems like an "accident" waiting to happen.
"Deployments" are not permanent. Military illiteracy is a helluva drug. A prolonged training deployment does fit the Special Operations mission.
The individuals won’t be there permanently, but we’ll permanently have troops there…. 🤦🏻♂️
"Journalism"
@@AyjayAlleywayironic how he mentioned military illiteracy!!
Trump forever brother
Green Berets are a great choice as would be Seals for the straights and the coasts.
Green Berets are infiltration units
licking lotsa dicky lately ?
I'd say the Seabees instead of the seals
Green Berets' primary mission is to train client states so we don't have to do their fighting for them. Unfortunately, our politicians have quite frequently forgotten that in the past. There are some really dumb past Presidents who never bothered to learn that.
I’ve been to Kinmen ( Jinmen 金門）， it was a very unique experience to say the least.
Oh, it's written as 金門? It means "golden gate", then. Interesting.
Did you ride a jet ski to Xiamen for lunch?
@@yagi3925more like gold door.
You got booty played?
@@jace8785 門 is the word both for doors and gates, and historically its meaning is closer to gate (compare Romance/Latin porta), as in here. Here the sense is as in gate at the boundary of administered areas, as in city gate, or border crossing. For the front door of a house 戶 is the specific word historically used.
War is coming when the Green Berets land.
Their job is to train soldiers and have been doing so in every corner of the world since their inception. No “war” is coming.
RIP
🧢
Green Berets are all over the place. Their main job is to train and advise foreign militaries.
Green Berets are deployed all over the globe... at all times... let's not fear monger here.
What is the world coming to...? Seems like in the last 4-5 years, more and more countries wanting what other countries have with the civilians caught in the middle. Most if not all of the time the civilians who live in these areas just want to be free of the politics of the whole terrible situation. Makes me thankful my family and myself don't live in these hot spots, but at the same time it makes me worry that all this might in the end mean that my boys will be sent away to fight in these wars.
You slept through history class?
4-5 years? Through all humanity. Even in your life.
@@JaneJetsin Yeah I pretty much did sleep through history class... and science and all the others. But I was more getting to the fact that super powers are getting more directly involved (not including the US as they always stick their military into other countries business). I was in the military and served overseas, but the wars in the later part of the 20th century and even early 21st century (when I served and before I was a father) were never against super powers Now as a father I understand why my father didn't want me to serve, I watch the news and see what is going on. I know that sounds hypocritical because I know it is, but the wars that are ramping up today are being fought by nuclear super powers, when I served it was to stop a despot, today's and tomorrow's wars will be fought to stop nuclear super powers.
I also know that throughout the 20th and 21st century there have always been assholes wanting other peoples shit, but you cannot compare what is going on today to what was happening in the later part of the 20th century. My sons are also 18 and 17 respectively, I know they will serve if asked, but that is what scares me. You cannot compare Ukraine to Kosovo, Mogadishu or East Timor, they just aren't they same thing.
Sorry for the novel, just trying to explain why I said what I said. I fully understand what you are saying and you are correct. But with the idiots in Washington and the dictators in Russia, China and North Korea; to me at least seems to be ramping up to a full on world war. I see these news pieces and I am reminded of Einstein saying: "I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones". I am paraphrasing, but the only thing wrong with this saying is we know what the weapons are going to be used in the next world war, we are seeing them used right now. If that doesn't scare you nothing will, just saying there's always a war somewhere doesn't comfort a parent who's kids might have to get involved.
@@Sir_Furry_Quokkalot We were in a “Cold War” for decades and fought proxy wars after WWII just EXACTLY like we are now in Ukraine.
Every proxy war had one superpower involved and one or two backing the “underdog” Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan twice, Iraq, Syria and now Ukraine. Only the Middle East conflicts had two smaller nation backed by superpowers.
Truly there’s nothing new it’s just you’re now becoming aware.
@@Sir_Furry_Quokkalot I will make one point that we probably agree is different about Ukraine. It is Russia on a direct path to increase its territorial domain. Unlike as Afghanistan where it merely tried to set up a puppet government.
Ever since 1945 and unleashing atomic weapons it was a foregone conclusion that other nations would eventually create them and that sooner or later.
The whole point of Mutually Assured Destruction was to prevent a territorially hungry nation from expanding and threatening that if you try to stop me I’ll start using atomic weapons. We knew eventually someone would try it, like Putin. Now the choice is to either allow him to gobble up every non-nuclear country he wants or tell him no.
Any country with nuclear weapons will be immune to attack because naturally they will use them in defense. If we don’t want every country to have atomic weapons it’s the atomic powers DUTY to protect the other countries from atomic powers.
Your thoughts?
@@JaneJetsin The people in Ukraine would disagree with it being a cold war. But I do get what you're saying. What worries me with that war is what happens after Ukraine and what is happening in Washington. If Russia are allowed to continue, mark my words; NATO will be drawn into the fighting. This is not a cold war scenario, it is very much happening. Unlike the cold war where Russia or America where arming rebel factions in Africa or fighting rebels in Afghanistan, this time Russia is fighting and it is not the same thing when they are invading a sovereign nation. So unlike the cold war, where east and west were fighting each other by arming different sides in a third world country, this one is being fought outright and when, not if but when, NATO are drawn in then that will open the door to Chinese aggression in the South China seas, because countries that are allies to NATO countries will have their attention elsewhere. This is very similar to what happened in WWII and Japan. De facto wars are not the same thing, history is about to repeat itself. That is my opinion, not saying you're wrong, just saying that there are more than two sides at play here. Because don't forget about Israel and Hamas, Egypt, even Yemen's Houthi militants and that whole mess as well. Just how far can the US spread it's military? So this is not like the cold war, this is very much a hot (mess) war. So what will happen is these wars either go on and on or all out war to stop the wars... so again, WWIII. Don't forget I am not saying you're wrong, but at least you aren't calling me names for having a different view/opinion, so thanks :)
Yeap, early warning system looks like
Probably the first casualties if it comes to that
We just can't help getting involved in everything.
This is insane. We will be defeated by their giant population. And nuclear surprise.
This things kinda happen because of the US... not saying that americans are wrong or anything but they're definitely doing for their own control and interest, which is all arround the world in pretty much every conflict for the past century.
@@9z929 Taiwan has been a US ally for over 70 years and the US had nothing to do with the tensions between Tiawan and China. The US didn't start WWII, they had nothing to do with the Mao's civil war or the KMT fleeing to Taiwan, and they had nothing to do with the Japanese occupation of Taiwan.
@@ryanmorgan5677 Yes but Taiwan needs the support and is a key
US partner in the Indo-Pacific with commercial and geopolitical significance. The US is trying to mantain for its own interests for like 50 years and I get it.
I was just saying that its not randomly or by love that the US is involved on every conflict.
@@ryanmorgan5677 But we did start putting semiconductor factories there. And they're extremely valuable. So if the mainland wants to invade a country that the PRC never controlled to begin with, they can get fucked.
It's like our leadership wants the world to end. Imagine Chinese soldiers 6 miles off our coasts...
So we should just let them do whatever they want huh?
Well they only care about themselves they seem
To think China and Russia would stop invading if no1 stops em.
@baneofbanes america needs to worry about or selfs. You really want a war with china they have 7 million in there millitery an nukes
CCP puppet
Funny not even a year ago USA, and the world were saying Taiwan was a part of China and China was eventually going to reconnect with Taiwan, then the USA began to say Taiwan should be free.
Let's not forget Taiwan's ROC (Republic of China) was the original governing body and the first government to govern post-Imperial China. During World War II, the Communists usurped the gov't after signing a pact with the ROC to push out Imperial Japan, which they barely did with heavy losses. The ROC suffered significant losses of their army and so the CCP took advantage of it. It's pretty wild to think about how history would have been different had the ROC not lost so much defending the mainland and fighting Japan.
Wow china really sum pussy huh
Glad we can escalate global conflicts and send American dollars overseas while we have citizens going hungry and homeless
Want to explain how this is escalating any global conflict in any way you China loving commie?
You chose Biden 4 yrs ago, here is the price.
Oh, come on. Take a look at a graph of US (federal) defense spending as a % of GDP, vs. federal domestic spending as a % of GDP, from the end of WW2 to present. And that doesn't even include state and local gov't spending, which is almost all "domestic". Our problem is NOT a failure to spend money domestically in recent years.
Even if they didn’t send dollars overseas they still wouldn’t feed the hungry and homeless. They didn’t before why would they now?
@@ArmyJuan1991 Do you go spend your own money on feeding and housing the homeless?
Imagine, China stationing their soldiers 6 miles from the US border. Just imagine that.
“Don’t trust China; China asshole!”
Except we don't. The closest small island that Taiwan owns is six miles from China's border. That's not where the green berets are stationed. Taiwan is roughly 100 miles away from China's coast. It's almost like you weren't listening to a thing. We've had military drills and had soldiers stationed in Taiwan on and off for decades now. They rotate and go back and forth. Almost like that thing called a deployment. Except this time the Taiwanese government wants it to be permanent for training purposes. Almost like their government has been threatened by the CCP for a long time or something.
China has their Soldiers and Navy far closer to the allies that depend on us for protection. China *will* invade if they have the opportunity. The USA will not.
American children may not care about their allies, or maintaining the global economy that makes their lifestyle possible... but you don't vote, so your opinion doesn't matter.
I can and it's not a big deal.
The difference is, the US actually has good relations with most of its neighbors. Unlike China. Where would China put those troops?
The most explicit
understanding reached was that Taiwan and China belonged to one country.
The 1972 joint communique stated: “The U.S. side declared: The United
States acknowledges that all Chinese on either side of the Taiwan Strait
maintain there is but one China and that Taiwan is a part of China. The
United States Government does not challenge that position. It reaffirms its
interest in a peaceful settlement of the Taiwan question by the Chinese
themselves.”

They didn’t say we were creating a permanent base in Taiwan. They said our troops will be there permanently on their bases. Exactly like NATO countries do with each other. We have had troops on a rotating basis in every NATO country like all members do.
Russia does have troops and ships in Cuba and Venezuela rotating in and out.
If you know anyone in the Navy stationed in a southern port like Charleston on a ship ask them how often they shadowed Russian ships into Cuba. The only reason it has decreased is their navy is aging and falling apart.

China did not fall for it. This is all about starting war worldwide to destroy any perceived or makeup enemy. Grow da f up!
Ukraine cannot destroy Russia in the War. Instead, Russia is destroying Ukraine. This should be a lesson to the American Muppets running Taiwan. LOL

They should start training its own people like Switzerland. PH should follow the same concept as Switzerland never to be invaded by anybody.

Will you say the same for Ukraine?
Once the Japanese have a functional military ready to mobilize, I don't think Taiwan will be an issue anymore. Considering military history, cultural values, and current footage of joint training with the US, you'd be stupid to willingly put yourself in their line of fire.
This will give some boosts to Taiwan morale
They need some more boots too.

Im form taiwan 99th Marine Brigade
and im a frontline unit
I have seen many times that corporals and staff sergeants in our unit have trouble even basic loading magazines.
The skills involved are so bad that they can basically be said to be at the level of the US military in the 60s.
In terms of equipment, we don’t let officials buy equipment on our own. At the same time, the equipment given to us is terrible.
Our bulletproof vests are of such poor quality that they disintegrate on their own
Our bulletproof plates are not even resistant to M855 green heads. Our combat clothes are very thin and are not even resistant to infrared rays. Our helmets will be as rotten as tofu on the inside after being shot.
And to this day they still teach our combatants to use belts or shoelaces to stop bleeding and are unwilling to issue combat first aid kits

So, why don't you teach them? Why don't they have proper supplies? What is the actual problem?
You need a Civilian Marksmanship Program. That way, when people start training, they will already be familiar. The children learn faster and better, so the earlier you start, the better.
amazing pronunciation of Penghu here lol
Opsec will be important as China will be looking to study tactics
Long Live Taiwan ... Long Live The People of Taiwan.
Lol. They won’t.
The problem is that the US is good at training themselves, but they are horrible when it comes to training foreign soldiers. Look at Afghanistan and Ukraine. US helped train Ukrainians for 8 years to get them ready to fight the Russians, and the Afghanistan for almost 20 years, and look what happened. Russians have decimated the Ukrainians, and look how easy it was for the Taliban to take over. The reasoning behind this is because these countries rely to heavily on the US, and because of this, they don't know how to be self reliant. It's why a lot of US allies suck at war, because they rely to heavily on the US for support, they are not self sufficient. If and when China does attack Taiwan, Taiwan will fall apart quickly.
Ukraine’s military is performing well against Russia despite being significantly smaller than Russia’s military. Afghanistan failed because its people don’t care about democracy. The military of any country would fail if the people of the country are not behind them.

They're too busy starving on old rations.
America is purposely kicking every hornets nest they find... and once those hornets come out flying they're going to act all confused as to why they're attacking.
I've truly never seen such incompetence more than I've seen it from the US government.
Anybody who understands the importance of Taiwan in WW2 would understand why putting troops on Taiwan is an oh sh*t moment. But then again, anybody who knows anything about WW2 knows the US loves kicking the hornets' nest.
That's because you're only 19.
That is their playbook, not incompetence
..no?
nah thats not incompetence, they did it so successfully with the ukraine russia situation and hoping to do it again for china and taiwan. don't think china would take the bait but we'll see.
We have no business being over there.
By "we", I assume you are an American. You have something called the Taiwan Relations Act. Enacted since 1980.
@pervertt he doesn't realize we are obligated to protect them
And China has no business forcibly annexing peaceful neighbors but look at Tibet, Bhutan, Mongolia, North Korea, the Phillipines, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Like it or not, all of those places have requested aid in repelling Chinese aggression from the US or UN aligned forces. And the US navy is what enables the entire worlds shipping and globalized economy, that China explicitly benefits from and is the sole reason for their rise out of Qing era medieval retardation that they existed in until they purged half their own country in the 50s, struggled for 40 years, and then begged to be allowed into the UN trade circles and finally modernized.

@@delos2279this is false. Neither Russia nor China has permanent military presence in Cuba. In fact, outside of a now closed SIGINT station, their presence is rare.
@@johnsullivan8673 China and Cuba are in advanced negotiations for the construction of a joint military training facility, an infrastructure that would facilitate the presence of Chinese troops in Cuba on a permanent basis. Ongoing since 2015, long before the US training facility.
@@johnsullivan8673 Also relevant is that Taiwan has a much better reason to want US troops for training (Cuba is not under threat of being invaded).

They need seal teams that could destroy naval underwater
They aren't going to announce those.
If war does occur, you can bet Navy SEALs and Force Recons are deployed to conduct underwater demolitions and sabotage of vessels operations.
So, what is the difference between green beret and other US commandos branch?
The Green Berets are supposed to be “force magnifiers”. They are supposed to augment existing forces in an area or sometimes raise new ones. They dont act alone.
The casualty rate.
Both are made up. There are no green berets in the USA, and there are no commandos. I think the french had "green beret" unit, but the USA doesn't. theres army, navy, airforce, then below them are seals, marines, rangers, spec ops, delta. you notice how there wasn't anyone with a job title green beret.

@@spotlight-bw4rg Obviously I don't have command of armies so WTF you talking about?
Not really. Nobody is going to start marching troops into mainland China anytime soon, but we all know China wants to march troops into its neighbours. These are two players playing a very different game
@@klipk7296 Historically China has been very insular and there's no reason to assume that it's going to be anywhere near as belligerant as America. Why don't you even mention the sustained aggression of warmongering America? It's strange why you don't consider US deployment of troops to an island just a few miles away from China as being provocative, particularly in view of the fact that physically invading China is an absurdity. So what;'s the point of doing that beyond provocative arrogance?

@@J93AD It will be worse than Nam. Taiwan is a small island too close to China. 70 percent of it's food and over 90 percent of energy are imported , they have no reserves to last more than a week if blockaded. It's just not defensible logistically.
@@morbid747tell us about this logistical infeasibility. Where are the bottlenecks?
Taiwan's recent elections saw a more hardline independence candidates win. So it's very unlikely Taiwan as it currently politically exists will, willingly become of part of China's sphere.
