#2 These are offensive first-strike munitions which invite China to do the same. Let's cool tensions down, war benefits nobody in America.

#3 Typhoon is pretty much beyond reach from Guam to China. Check your maps.

Could be a deterrent for Phil, Japan and Micronesia occupation to slow the south china Sea expansion.

#5 Geezers of a certain age might remember the US installing Jupiter medium-range nuclear armed ballistic missiles in Turkey as a precursor to the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.

#6 Yeah, those STARTED the Cuban Missile Crisis, which nearly killed us all.
Thank God JFK knew when to back down and did it. Our warmongers in DC won't back down this time. They'll go to DEFCON 1 before they ever back down and we will not be talking about it 80 years later on the internet because America will be DEAD

#8 Excuse me, B, but America's total debt is now in the neighborhood of $35 trillion. Not that I'm any fan of Gavin Newsom, but I'm pretty sure California's debt is minuscule compared to that. Nuclear war might be the only way we'll ever get out of it.

#11 Thank God JFK knew when to back down and did it.

Kennedy didn't have a clue.
He kept Eisenhower on speed dial.
Listen to the tapes.
