China Aims Missiles At Guam. How Should the Pentagon Defend America’s Pacific Bomber Base?
David Axe
 

The U.S. Navy admiral in charge of Indo-Pacific Command is worried about Guam.

In the event of war, the Chinese military could target the U.S. island territory with cruise and ballistic missiles, Adm. Phil Davidson warned. And that could remove from the map the U.S. Air Force’s main Pacific base for bombers and other heavy warplanes.

The solution, Davidson said, is to install the Aegis missile-defense system on Guam. Aegis Ashore could function as “the backbone of [a] homeland defense system” for the territory, Davidson told reporters on Wednesday.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
