China Is Mad: The U.S. Air Force Just Deployed F-22 Raptors to the Pacific
Story by Stavros Atlamazoglou • Wednesday




F-22 Sent to Deter China? As tensions with China in the Indo-Pacific continue to increase steadily, the U.S. Air Force deployed for the first time F-22 Raptor stealth fighter jets to a key island.
 
F-22 Raptors from the 525th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron are in Tinian, a small island just to the north of Guam in the Pacific.

The stealth fighter jets deployed for the first time to Tinian as part of testing to determine the feasibility of basing fighter jets there in the event of a conflict with China.
 
“For them to come support this exercise shows how agile we truly are,” Air Force Colonel Kevin “Jinx” Jamieson, the commanding officer of the 3rd Air Expeditionary Wing, told Air & Space Forces Magazine.
 
“Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands are a strategic location that requires agility to defend if we find ourselves in a contested and degraded environment,” the Air Force officer added.

I like the fact that they're in Tinian, for historical purposes.

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.
