I agree.
Back to Iron Bottom Sound?
Paper tiger
I was thinking the same thing, so I searched. This is what I found:
Nothing the Xiden administration does will make any sense.
Chinese could attack on gay pride day.
Chinese have completely infiltrated the American government.
Whatever we do, China will know all about it.

“Senate Confirms Chris Fonzone, Huawei-Linked Lobbyist to Intel Post (55-45) - Republicans Then Introduce a Bill Barring Outgoing Governmental Officials From Working With Some State-Owned Chinese Companies... They knew Pelosi will kill the bill.”
All traitors for money.
I like how they use HK as an example.
Western world gives up HK and is shocked it is now a communist
stronghold.
Libtards are amazing.
We used to have a place in the Philippines.
Idiots. This isn’t anything that needs a military force and a military force won’t work anyway. What WOULD work is if our government acted like Trump and rewarded their bad behavior with closed markets, tariffs, and other solid economic punishments for bad behavior.
Wake is about 3000 miles northeast of Australia. Not much of a doorstep.
Hmmmm, where I have seen this before. Hmmmmm. Didn’t we have a lot of US forces in the Philippines prior to WWII? That didn’t work out too well as the “combat ready forces” in a peace era were certainly not “combat ready”. The Navy was not ready to keep them supplied, and the factories were not prepared to supply them either. If a war really does happen, those “combat ready forces” will be a minor speed bump, sorry to say.
If memory serves, Australia has about the same land mass as the US but only 10% of the population. I am sure that they could easily create a combined forces base somewhere on the North side. Perhaps even two or three.
I am thinking the north side of the Western Territory. I am thinking between Derby and Wyndham
The Queen is still head of state there, let her and the rest that empire solve empire problems. We are broke and have sacrificed enough.
Not pinning for US Military defeat .... just how many troops were sent to Benghazi. It’s not always a military matter when fools are in charge. Austin, Miley and the rest of the politically charged civilians will make the final call.
......most likely the REAL reason for this “project” is to pour government money into it with Democratic Party officials and pals syphoning off billions.
Democrats start our wars, but fighting directly with China or Russia is not in their plans. They want something stupid, like another Vietnam. Getting involved in Burma is more their style. Philippines knows our base there was never to protect them, just a launching point for Democrat wars.
I hate these ‘fair weather patriots’. Saw it during clinton, bush, obama, trump and now biden. If it’s an enemy party member (by fr standards) it’s always wrong. And always right for at least sometime while a Rep does it.
The whole ‘it’s ok when we do it’ thing ruins politics.
The entirety of Wake Island is a US National Wildlife Refuge with only enough infrastructure to support the caretakers and their seasonal staff.
Besides the instant environmental lawsuits that would happen it is close to 5,000 miles from Taiwan.
Okinawa is less than 500 miles from Taiwan and would send quite the message to the Chicoms were it to be used as the FOB.
Knew that,what would be a doorstep to Australia for a military force to protect Taiwan
