The Messenger: The US Is Preparing Evacuation Plans for American Citizens in Taiwan (Exclusive)  

Wars in Ukraine and Afghanistan hang over planning for worst-case scenarios 

The U.S. government is preparing evacuation plans for American citizens living in Taiwan, three sources told The Messenger. 

The planning has been underway for at least six months and “it’s heated up over the past two months or so,” said a senior U.S. intelligence official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to discuss the planning. 

 The official said a “heightened level of tension” had driven the preparations. “It’s nothing you wouldn’t read in the news,” he told The Messenger. “Forces building up. China aligning with Russia on Ukraine.”

It is quite ridiculous. There is no way that the Biden gov't will speedily evacuate anything close to all the American citizens in Taiwan. If I thought the Biden gov't had any brains, I'd think that this is low grade psychological operation. Any Americans currently there can choose to leave. Like, maybe now... (do NOT wait for the Biden gov't to rescue you).

If the balloon goes up in Taiwan, the important things to get out of there are critical technologies. E.g.: chip tech.

Or, if you wanted to discourage and delay a Chinese attack on Taiwan, you would land an American division and air force on the island and begin intensive "training exercises".

Noncombatant Evacuation Operations (NEO)

Anywhere the US military is there are plans to evacuate noncombatants in case the balloon goes up.

Probably, it is the same for the rest of the government.

It is surprising that WNU does not know this or took the click bait as something new.

Evacuating citizens is or can be political. Case in point is Jesse Jackson's criticism of the Liberian evacuation under the elder Bush. The elder Jackson made a stink about the evacuation of Americans from war torn Liberia many decades ago. He said it was the first time the USG helped people of color.

Someone has the NEO job. They will at least dust off the the document and maybe rewrite/update it.

A NEO job is not considered job enhancing. It is more of a sunset tour job.

There is a trade in brides from Thailand into China. That satisfies part of the demand.
