Ditto Blimps??

To be truly effective, IMO the US will have to do the same in the CNMI + Iwo Jima/Bonins - it also means or infers that any local NG andor Reserves units may have to mission-change into Missle [BMD] Troops [UAV?]?

Once again, as a reminder, 1960's -70's GUAM TAOTAMONAS = as the US retreats or falls back across the Pacific, it may decide to covertly sink or destroy strategic Pacific islands - including but not limited to Guam - in order to deny MilPol utility to enemies [so-called new fangled "A2/Area Denial"], vee "Earthquake/
Tectonic Bombs".

Well there ya go - THE US IS NOT DISENGAGING FROM ASIA-PACIFIC, ITS JUST UNILATERALLY FORCIBLY DENYING ENEMY GOVTS-NATIONS USE OF KEY AIRFIELDS + HARBORS WHILE BLAMING THEIR DESTRUCTION ON MAMA NATURE = ACTS/HAND OF GOD = "NATURAL FORCES".

D *** NG IT, THE GHOSTS + OTHER KNEW ABOUT IT DECADES AGO - DIDN'T EVERYBODY!?

#2 ...this man one small step (and a couple of surgeries) away from becoming Meghan McCain! No, the U.S. is not disengaging from the world, the world is disengaging from the U.S...
