It's not about Guam, it's about a third of our bomber arsenal sitting at Anderson AFB throughout the year that is of interest to them..

I hope Cali votes for independence first, but if an earthquake accomplishes the same thing - so be it.

Addition to 1/3 of the bombers listed above, there's also US nuclear assets on the island "projecting power" in the region. And then there's a considerable fuel reserve that would allow the US to further project power and conduct operations in that region. That's the real target.

Oh right, all those B1, B2, and B52's stationed 1000+ miles from another US base and all they have are a few strings of lady fingers

I'm sure that any subs that might be in port in Guam, are just there for training too. No nukes....

N Korea seems to have forgotten about the sub and boomer fleet. Particularly those that now have conventional war head cruise missals.
