#1 The shield defense was never about taking out a mass launch. It was about taking out a few here and there. The deterrent to the Chinese 'gambit' is having someone in the WH who wouldn't hesitate to counter launch an equally, if not greater, devastating reply.

#7 Try looking at it from their point of view.
(1) USA is the most heavily armed country on Earth.
(2) USA keeps electing crazy people as chief executive.
(3) The last 6 years have shown that sane Americans unable to place any limits on their crazy chief executive.

#8 Mehhh, AFAIC just more reason(s) supporting my argument for the USDOD to turn Guam-CNMI-Bonins + even Palau/Belau into a ABM-BMD MilBase, to include offshore BMD Arsenal/Fire Ships + BMD Dirigibles + Space-based Lasers.

[STAR WARS "MOS EISLEY" SPACEPORT = POST-2050 OLD HARMON FIELD AFB, GUAM here].

I'm more concerned about the DF-21D ASBM, espec their new DF-26 "Guam/Diego Garcia Killer" LRBM, + threat to Gaum's Camel Rock vee Motherly PLA Airborne + Submarine Specops.

FIRST THINGYS COME FIRST, i.e. What Nation = "US-style", "US-par", Anti-US/Amerikan OWG-NWO Co-Superpower [China-ve-Japan, Russia?] will lead any future "EAST ASIAN/ASIAN UNION" + ALIGNED, + CAN THE FINAL CHOICE BE MADE PEACEFULLY WIDOUT RESORT TO MAJOR REGIONAL OR WORLD WAR, ANDOR LIMITED OR TOTAL NUCLEAR WAR???

#9 Don't fear CHINA, RUSSIA, OR IRAN, ETC?

FEAR ANTI-US US OWG GLOBALIST POTUS OBAMA'S [or follwo-on similar POTUS Successor(s)] INTENTIONAL/DELIBERATE LACK OF ACTION PER THE ANTI-US OWG GLOBALIST AGENDA.
