Pentagon Building Cruise Missile Shield To Defend US Cities From Russia
2015-06-19
The plan calls for buying radars that would enable National Guard F-16 fighter jets to spot and shoot down fast and low-flying missiles. Top generals want to network those radars with sensor-laden aerostat balloons hovering over U.S. cities and with coastal warships equipped with sensors and interceptor missiles of their own.

#12  The US Navy-DOD repor wants the next generation FORD-CLASS CVN to be armed wid shipboard BMD LASERS - PROLLY SAFE TO SAY TO BE USED FOR ANTI-AIRCRAFT PURPOSES AS WELL.

The Same can do it right now wid dedicated ARSENAL/FIRE SHIPS + HIGH/SPACE ORBITALS, + later again wid the lower-altitude Dirigibles as NT permits.

* FYI YAHOO NEWS, TOPIX > EIGHT OUT OF TEN FILIPINOS FEAR WAR WID CHINA: POLL, over disputed SCS islands.

* GMA NEWS > PHILIPPINES WON'T ALLOW [South China Sea] DISPUTES TO TURN INTO A WAR WID CHINA - PALACE.

ARTIC = Least of all because PH Govt. admits that their country CAN'T resort to DIRECT ACTION/
DIRECT MILITARY ACTION agz China.

IIUC, IOW the Philippines is PCorrectly indirectly admitting it CANNOT MILITARILY HINDER OR DEFEAT CHINA BY ITSELF, I.E. IT WILL LOSE ANY UNILATERAL OR ASYMETRIC PHIL-CHINA MILITARY CONFLICT IN THE SCS.

* YAHOO NEWS > [National Interest] CHINA'S MASTER PLAN [Conventional = Non-Nuclear?] TO CRUSH JAPAN IN BATTLE.

China + PLA would once again like to make this kinder, gentler PSA to the US-World that it has both Strategic + Tactical Nukes, ICBMS + IRBMS + SRBMS + Warheads, etc. capable of hitting both Nippon + CONUS, while Nippon per se does NOT.

AND NOT COUNTING OR EXCLUSIVE OF POTUS OBAMA BEING AN ANTI-US US OWG GLOBALIST AGZ HIS OWN COUNTRY'S [Nationalist] INTERESTS.

* BIGNEWSNETWORK, MEMRI > PAKISTANI JIHADI WEEKLY: CHINA-PAKISTAN ECONOMIC CORRIDOR COULD TRIGGER WW3 ... US AND INDIA [+ Russia + Iran] WON'T TOLERATE EMRGING CHINA'S ECONOMY'S ACCESS INTO MIDDLE EAST MARKETS.

VERSUS

* PHILIPPINE STAR > [University of Colorado = Journal of Science] STUDY: MEGA-INJECTIONS OF WASTEWATER TRIGGERING MORE EARTHQUAKES IN US.

"GUAM WILL CAPSIZE".

"Fracking" andor EMP(s), etc. what more proof do OWG AMerikans need that the USN sank its own Battleship USS Oklahoma during its anti-Japan "false flag" attack on Pearl Harbor back in 1941!

POST-REAGAN, POST-9-11 AMERIKA WERE YOUNG, DUMB, + MARXIST-COMMUNIST-GLOBALIST BUT JUST DIDN'T KNOW IT UNTIL BEN AFFLECK + "PEARL HARBOR" CAME ALONG.

#11  Aerostats did wonders on US/Mexico border stopping contraband and human trafficking. I used to watch them in the 80's while visiting Sierra Vista/Ft. Huachuca.//sarcoff

#10  I get the feeling that this is going to be as effective as our border security.

#9  Easier, less expensive and more visible to defend against a pseudo-threat than a high risk problem like controlling identity management.

#4  Top generals want to network those radars with sensor-laden aerostat balloons hovering

'Top generals' and 'hovering balloons.' I feel greatly reassured. Are the onboard sensors pointed across the horizon, or...... down ?

#3  I'm more concerned about the Intermodal Container attack from Iran thru Mexico. NAFTA superhighway et al.

#1  ABM-BMD/AABMD-capable NT Dirigibles.

Thought so, despite all the PCorrect denials.

I'd like a number to be based here in Guam-CNMI + Iwo [Bonins] along wid BMD AEGIS warships to deter or protect the islands from LRBM strikes by the PLA andor Nuclear Jihad, at least via mid-phase/stage interception - THE SAME BASED IN OKINAWA OR OTHER JAPANESE MILBASE CAN HANDLE EARLY-PHASE/STAGE INTERCEPTION.

VERSUS

* CHINA DAILY FORUM > US [Think-Tank] ARTICLE CALLS FOR TACTICAL NUKES [based on 3 ea. Philippine home islands] AS BLACKMAIL AGZ CHINA ISLANDS.

Wid the US-PH knowing that China may respond wid
some kind of Retaliatory Nuclear Strike(s)???

* FYI GLOBALNATION.PH > [China's] "GREAT WALL OF THE SEA" HIT. SECURITY EXPERT [Chester Cabalza] - CHINA IS NOW ILLEGALLY OCCUPYING PARTS OF THE PHILIPPINES.

ARTIC = Pert argues that the more China is able to successfully block direct or strategic access to SCS isles, the more Regional, Geopol Power-N-Control China will garner or procure for itself and its agendum.

* SAME > UN TRIBUNAL WON'T RULE ON OWNERSHIP OF DISPUTED TERRITORIES - [Philippine] DFA.

To paraph "STAR WARS" PREQUELS' DARTH SIDIOUS = GALACTIC EMPEROR PALPATINE to the Jedi = "TREASON [War] IT IS, THEN"!

* TOPIX > [Washington Times] VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: AGGRESSIVE NATIONS EXPANDING THEIR SOVEREIGNTY.

US Allies as well as US Rivals-Enemies expanding their "Spheres of Influence", vee policies of a "weak/incompetent/reluctant" POTUS Obama.

D *** NG IT, THATS RIDICULOUS, THE BAMMER IS AN ANTI-US US OWG GLOBALIST - HE'S DOING IT DELIBERATELY OR INTENTIONALLY, ALBEIT AS A GOOD PCORRECT-DENIABLE "SAFE" POLITICIAN!

* TOPIX > [Commentary Magazine] OBAMA WINS SMALL VICTORIES WHILE SUFFERING BIG DEFEATS AGZ TERRORISTS.

What goes for Anti-US US OWG Globalist POTUS Obama vee Radical Islamist "TERRORISTS" ALSO GOES VEE CHINA, RUSSIA, + IRAN, ETC.???

Again, iff my Ancestors = 1960's-1970's Guam Taotamoans warnings from long ago prove true, WHY SHOULD GUAM OR ANY PACIFIC ISLAND NEED TO BE SUNK OR OTEHRWISE DESTROYED BY A [Unilateral = Self?] GEOPOL-RETREATING USA IN ORDER TO DENY THE ISLAND'S MILITARY OR MILPOL UTILITY [Apra Harbor + AAFB] TO CHINA + PLA, ANDOR NUCLEAR ISLAM, ETC. ALA SO-CALLED "A2/AD" [Anti-Access/Area-Denial = Strategic-Theater Denial]???

Iff Ex-Sole-Superpower-soon-to-be-Par-OWG-CoSuperpower-Among-Many, US-N-only-US "Retreat/Fallback is World Peace" [+ viable OWG-NWO = Space Govt-Order]???

IFF THE FUTURE USA IS N-O-T EXISTENTIALLY THREATENED BY ANYONE???

Lest we fergit, PERTS + MSM-NET = THE US IS ALREADY A "WEAK-N-DECLINING" NATION OR SUPERPOWER, AND GETTING WEAKER.
