[LAUREN TAYLOR]

THE U-S NAVY UNIT THAT TOOK OUT NINE-ELEVEN MASTERMIND OSAMA BIN LADEN IS PREPARING FOR THEIR NEXT COVERT MISSION.

THE COMMANDOS OF SEAL TEAM SIX ARE TRAINING FOR THE POTENTIAL INVASION OF TAIWAN BY CHINESE FORCES, ACCORDING TO THOSE FAMILIAR WITH THEIR OPERATIONS.

THE ELITE TEAM HAS BEEN PLANNING AND TRAINING FOR A CONFLICT IN TAIWAN FOR MORE THAN YEAR AT ITS HEADQUARTERS JUST OUTSIDE D-C.

U-S OFFICIALS MAINTAIN AN INVASION BY CHINA IS “NEITHER IMMINENT NOR INEVITABLE” BUT THEY’RE NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES.

AS THE CHINESE PEOPLE’S LIBERATION ARMY RAPIDLY RAMPS UP ITS MILITARY TECH – THE U-S INDO-PACIFIC COMMANDER SAYS THE COUNTRY MAY BE CAPABLE OF TAKING OVER TAIWAN BY 2027.

SEAL TEAM SIX IS ONE OF THE MOST ELITE FORCES IN THE U-S MILITARY ALONGSIDE THE ARMY’S DELTA FORCE.

THE U-S HAS SENT OTHER SPECIAL FORCES TO TAIWAN TO PROVIDE TRAINING TO TAIWANESE FORCES IN RECENT YEARS.

BUT SEAL TEAM SIX’S OPERATIONS ARE HIGHLY CLASSIFIED.

PEOPLE FAMILIAR WITH THEIR TRAINING DID NOT PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS ON POSSIBLE OPERATIONS IN TAIWAN.

THE U-S IS LEGALLY OBLIGATED TO PROTECT TAIWAN AND PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS VOWED U-S FORCES WOULD DEFEND THE ISLAND IN THE FACE OF A CHINESE ATTACK.

BEIJING WARNED THE U-S TO “STOP ENHANCING MILITARY CONTACT WITH THE TAIWAN REGION OR ARMING IT”— ACCUSING WASHINGTON OF HEIGHTENING TENSIONS ALONG THE TAIWAN STRAIT– DESPITE HOLDING MILITARY DRILLS OF ITS OWN EARLIER THIS YEAR IN THE REGION.

CHINA CLAIMS IT’S COMMITTED TO A PEACEFUL REUNIFICATION WITH TAIWAN BUT DOESN’T RULE OUT THE USE OF FORCE.

BEIJING HAS LONG-CLAIMED TAIWAN IS PART OF CHINA WHILE TAIWANESE OFFICIALS MAINTAIN IT’S INDEPENDENT.
