Nice move, miliatrily....but useless if the US continues subsidizing the ChiComs via Free Trade with Communist China.

The whole island is a military “base”. It is also a colonial holding of USA which Bambi will get around to abolishing. He’ll give it to the Hawaiians as part of their reparations.

It is going to be hard to defend that base if the Chinese decide to do something about it. It could be pasted with IRBMs from China and their subs long before the bombers got off the ground. Trying to defend an island that far from the US against the massive military power of China would render the men their as doomed as the defenders of Corregidor were in 1941.

In 1940 in order to make a statement and deter Japanese aggression in the Pacific FDR moved the US Pacific fleet from San Diego to Pearl Harbor. We all know how well that worked out. Now Obama is going to move our strategic bombers and Aircraft Carriers from bases in the continental US out to Guam.
