Well one good thing is you can’t move an Island and by the looks of them one good barrage of cruise missiles could be devastating, followed closely by some high-impulse thermobaric bombs. It’s not like they have a mount suribachi to hide in.

I didn’t write the headline, so can’t help you with that. I s’pose as the aircraft were shopped into the image as speculation they of publishing concern perhaps thought it best to use that word as it goes well with speculation. I don’t really know this, just speculating.
