@GB_Drone: I asked a Ukrainian Marine brigade commander how he would structure a brigade if he could and he said he’d expand the amount of infantry. Plus, our next war will look different than the current battlefield.

@ukraine_map @WarMonitor3: The only way to guarantee that Taiwan never gets invaded is to station +5,000 US Troops in Taiwan. China fully intends to invade; they are preparing and waiting for the right time

If invading Taiwan 🇹🇼 means getting into a full-scale war with US 🇺🇸 then China will never invade
