I don’t think Star Wars 2.0 will

Deploy them where? Guam? Australia has already said no and I don’t see Japan or South Korea agreeing to allow them in.

So what. We do what we deem appropriate and don’t ask permission from enemies. China can do the same.

Fu also called on South Korea, Japan, and Australia to not allow the United States to station the missiles in their territories. The United States has military bases in all three nations***
It appears that China would rather establish itself as a bully super power than stabilize its currency, trade fairly and cooperate internationally with the West... note the military islands emerging from the South China Sea; China said they would not be military.
China is playing a dangerous game - hoping to separate Europe and the US. The US could propose to delay deployment of the missiles if China could help to reign in NorKor... something like that.

Has it been officially reported what the submarine incident was with the Russians?
To: bitt
Esper is coming off of seven years as senior lobbyist for Raytheon.
Mmmmm...now who is it that builds missiles and missile defense systems?
Seems that President Trump has completely ceded control to the NeoCon nutjobs - Esper, Bolton, and Pompeo. Each of them never saw a war or occupation they didn’t love.
I like the “let’s end the expensive and endless wars overseas and bring our boys home” Trump better.

If you really want to get Chinas attention, put the missiles in Taiwan
To: sparklite2
Why not? Just wondering about your reasoning.
To: bitt; 2ndDivisionVet
I thought we destroyed all of the medium range missiles under the INF. Will we have to re-build the factories/tooling to restart production of the the Pershing II missile? Can we get the ground launched cruise missile and launcher production re-built and started?

We’re not presently in a cold war with China and the need for developing space based missile defenses. Outspending the Chinese on an arms race isn’t likely to be met with the results we saw with the USSR’s collapse from trying to keep up.

In a way, we’re in a cold war with much of the world...been going on for quite a while and Trump noticed and decided to do a bit of countering to their attacks....

The war that really scares me is in space. Glad PTrump is going there, I must admit.
