      With US troops?

      Ukraine has a right to defend itself, but US troops are not deployed in Ukraine.

        I’m talking about Taiwan, but Ukrainians are defending themselves with American weapons, intelligence and training.

        I believe it was released that there are 14 special force members in Ukraine as well.

        The Green Berets are the army’s spec ops that focus on training foreign fighters, specially chosen for things like foreign language proficiency. They’re not Rangers or general light infantry. Ideally they’re not really supposed to get into direct combat, as they’re rather time consuming and difficult to replace.

        I would bet a whole bunch of money that we actually do have Green Berets present in Ukraine as well, though the only people that would know that for sure would be the US govt, the Ukrainians and probably Russian intelligence.

        If the 101st Airborne gets deployed to Taiwan, then I’d be worried.

          Green Berets are just as worrying. It means US is training locals, preparing for yet another proxy war or brutal crackdown on any real or potential opposition against place being subjugated to US empire.
