#1 I favor the move to Guam, but after we have a working missle defense system because I would like to put a lot of our Eastern Pacific eggs in that basket. Still moving the airbase is a nice start.

#7 "And the fact Okinawa has the highest consentration of leftists in Japan."

China is playing displace the defender to further isolate Taiwan. Guam is just too far away to help Taiwan. Okinawa is right next door.
