***Still whatever plans they may have had, the planes in Hawaii on 24/7 watch should cool their jets***
Aren’t the B2’s usually based on Guam for Asian missions? Is Guam in danger of tipping over?

Here’s an excerpt I read regarding this issue. I can’t provide the link. Bing keeps interfering with trying to go back to the page. Maybe you can find the article at Zero Hedge, if you want to read the whole thing.
From Zero Hedge:
The US Air Force is Putting China on notice as it announced Friday a new deployment of three B-2 Spirit stealth bombers to Hawaii for training in the Pacific.
The nuclear-capable aircraft departed Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, and touched down at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Hawaii, along with 200 support personnel airmen, as part of a U.S Strategic Command-led Bomber Task Force mission.
One defense analyst recently called the increase in B-2 bomber deployments to Hawaii “China’s nightmare, and something Beijing should get use to.”
China actually has an air defense capability.
I’m not sure what a few B2s are supposed to do.
Well, there was a hint of humor in my post; but still, as noted in the Washington Post a year ago, the B-2s were sent to Guam when we were dealing with North Korea. I cannot help but wonder if the ASAF feels the hi-tech weaponry is more secure in Hawaii than it would be on Guam when dealing with China. ❓️
