With concerted efforts underway to bring the thousands of Indians including students stranded in war-torn Ukraine back to the safety of the country, spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar sent out a message of hope. Revealing the part he is playing, he lauded the efforts of the government.

“It is unfortunate that Ukraine got caught up in between two major powers of the world. Let’s hope that this gets resolved through dialogue. One ray of hope is today both Russian side and Ukrainian side are meeting and they are having dialogue,” he said in a video message.

“Nobody wants war in the world. Especially, our country,” he continued. “Our prime minister is very concerned. In night at 12:30 am, Prime Minister called me last night and he said he was very concerned about Indian students who are trapped. He asked me what we can do to house them. Within half an hour we were able to arrange hundreds of beds for our people and make arrangements for our students to host and take care of them for few days,” he said.

Praising the government’s ongoing ‘Operation Ganga’ evacuation plan, he said, “There’s a sincerity in the effort that has been made by the Indian government. They are doing all that is in their capacity. But the problem is huge.”

“Wall Street Journal” exclusive: U.S. special forces and marines are secretly stationed in Taiwan to train Taiwan's army!

[啟動LINE推播] 每日重大新聞通知 中國人民解放軍近來加大以戰機侵擾台灣防空識別區的挑釁動作,中國媒體也頻頻放話要武力進犯台灣海峽戰雲密布。美國《華爾街日報》7日獨家報導,一支由美軍特種部隊與陸戰隊組成的部隊秘密駐紮台灣,協助訓練台灣的軍隊,而且時間至少已持續1年! 《華爾街日報》(WSJ)引述美方官員報導,美軍這支駐台部隊約有24人,採取輪調方式。其中特種部隊成員負責訓練幾個台灣陸軍的小型單位,陸戰隊則與我海軍合作,進行小型艦艇訓練。 對於台美這項可能激怒北京的軍事合作曝光,白宮、五角大廈與台灣政府都不予置評。中國外交部則聲稱「中國會採取一切必要作法,保護主權與領土完整。」 《中美共同防禦條約》21世紀再現? 不過五角大廈發言人薩波( John Supple)以書面聲明批評北京當局:「近來中國升高對台灣的恫嚇與壓力,包括增加在台灣鄰近地區的軍事行動,我們認為這種作法破壞區域穩定,升高了誤判形勢的風險。」他並強調美方會根據《台灣關係法》評估台灣的防衛需求與中國的軍事威脅。 冷戰時期,中華民國與美國曾在1954年簽定《中美共同防禦條約》,1980年1月1日隨著中美斷交而終止,但部分內容轉移至《台灣關係法》,後者第二條言明「美國的政策⋯⋯維持美國的能力,以抵抗任何訴諸武力、或使用其他方式高壓手段,而危及臺灣人民安全及社會經濟制度的行動。」 《華爾街日報》指出,這支駐台美軍規模雖小,但頗具象徵意義,足以加強台灣當局建軍備戰、對抗中國入侵的信心。拜登(Joe Biden)政府與前任美國政府有許多官員和軍事專家都認為,深化美台兩國軍方合作,要比單只是賣武器給台灣更有幫助。 美國防部特種作戰次長5月表示,應認真考慮派遣特種部隊協助台灣 美國前白宮副國家安全顧問博明(Matt Pottinger)表示:「台灣在本世紀的最初15年裡,嚴重忽略自身的國防預算,採購太多昂貴、會在開戰之初付之一炬的裝備,沒有充分投資於較便宜但更致命的系統——反艦飛彈、智慧型水雷、訓練精良的後備部隊,這些戰備會讓北京的作戰計畫顧此失彼。」 博明進一步指出,台灣的國防預算與新加坡相去不遠,但新加坡人口只有台灣的4分之1,而且沒有像中國這樣近在咫尺、虎視眈眈的敵國。不過今年1月7日才從白宮卸任的博明表示,他並不知道美軍秘密駐台一事。 五角大廈主管特種部隊作戰的次長梅爾(Christopher Maier)今年5月在聯邦參議院軍事委員會的任命聽證會上表示,美國應該認真考慮派遣特種部隊,協助台灣強化戰備。 美國前任總統川普(Donald Trump)時期擬定「美國印太戰略框架」(U.S. Strategic Framework for the Indo-Pacific),主張美國「應協助台灣建立有效的不對稱防衛戰略與戰備」,提升台灣應對中國的自主性;同時美軍應在台灣等相關地區維持「可觀的戰鬥力」,以遏阻中國佔據強勢主導地位。 風傳媒歡迎各界分享發聲,來稿請寄至 opinion@storm.mg
