#6  StrategyPage Artic was quoted as saying that a Chinese Nuclear Strike agz Guam is a very real or pragmatic possibility.

AFAIK the "VALIANT SHIELD" COMEX/COMILEX is taking place EAST of GUAM, NOT WEST OF GUAM, which tells me that the US = USDOD preparing for the day when Guam-CNMI-Palaus + Bonins, + possibly CENTPAC, M-A-Y be militarily contested one day, perhaps even lost to the US.

#5  There's been more MSM-Net Artics lately about inter-Korean reunification, which again again IMO China is unlikely to allow unless it de facto gets back TAIWAN.

Once its new artificial "dual-use" islands in the SCS are complete, Taiwan will be all but flanked, while any US intervening forces from EASTPAC-West Coat will face PLA forces right offshore. THIS WILL ALLOW CHINA + PLA TO MILITARILY CONCENTRATE OR FOCUS ON ITS CAMPAIGN FOR TAIWAN AS WELL AS JAPAN, I.E. TO SETTLE ONCE-N-FOREVER WHOM WILL BE EAST ASIA'S #1 [OWG East Asia/Asia Union, ASEAN, etc].

Once again, people, iff Globalist, Mighty-Red-Line-Defender Obama can watch from the sidelines as US Overseas Allies-Neutrals forcibly lose sovereign territory, THE LATTER CAN DO THE SAME THING IFF AMERICA = AMERIKA GETS IN TROUBLE FROM THE HARD BOYZ ANDOR NON-MUSLIM MILITANTS.

#4  OP: I heard that was in conjunction with the Interstate Highway Act 91956). The research I was able to turn up dispelled that, but that doesn't mean it wasn't done.

#2  There used to be 58 places in the United States where the local roads were built up to handle the landing of anything from fighters to heavy bombers. I don't know if any still exist or not. The European military also had dozens of such runways, from Finland and Sweden to Italy and Spain. Again, I haven't seen anything that would indicate those are still in use.
