Guam independence advocates say North Korea and Trump are making their case

With nuclear-armed North Korea threatening to fire missiles nearby, Guam independence advocates say breaking free of the U.S. is increasingly appealing to fellow islanders.

By their own admission, independence historically has been the least popular of three options debated among residents of the approximately 160,000-person territory, which was acquired by the U.S. from Spain in 1898.

But independence advocates say support has increased dramatically in the past year, with this week's saber-rattling between President Donald Trump and the North Korean government further heightening interest.

err Eisenhower.

uh ... Truman

Ah. Eisenhower concluded the war with an armistice instead of a peace treaty and left the war undone. Dean Acheson comments certainly did not instill fear in North Korea not to start the war. Truman didn’t keep Chinese Communist busy elsewhere with an unreliable Chiang Kai-shek.

Let them go.

I was looking at the Andersen AFB web site to see if there had any planes assigned there anymore and I found this videp clip about Gay Pride month.

We have a long way to pull ourselves back from the precipice. I don't know what else to say it our USAF allows this to go on.

Warning, this is not easy to watch:

Sounds like a Chinese mouthpiece.

Just ask Puerto Rico how well that worked out.

If a THAAD successfully intercepts an NK missile, the strike to take them out should still be a go.
