Thanks president ubama! It would have been cheaper and more environmentally friendly to have stopped China from destroying and rebuilding these coral atolls in the first place. We needed some of your “common sense” solutions.
Now our Airmen and civilians at Kadena AFB in Okinawa are in imminent danger every day. Not to mention every civilian airliner and ship in the area. What a POS POTUS.
The Chinese and Russian latest generation of missiles have a range greater than that of carrier-borne tactical aircraft. IOW, our carrier fleet will no longer work. But our SSGN fleet will. Bubbleheads just got promoted over airdales.
13 years ago the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing CG came to this same conclusion and sent his Wing Engineers to Tinian to ready it for a deployment of F/A-18s. Good to see Rand and the USAF figure this out after over a decade.

OK , just tell enemies everything
The most effective weapon against a cruise missile is an airplane. They fly too low for ground weapons to be effective but if you put enough aircraft in the air with AA missiles, they can take them out. And it doesn’t matter what kind of aircraft or missile since the cruise missiles can’t shoot back. An old F4 with Sidewinders can do the job.
