Previously, I mentioned that for China to take over Taiwan, it first has to destroy American bases in Japan, in the Philippines, and on Guam where I happen to live. A Washington Times report called “U.S. victory for Taiwan’s freedom from China comes at high price” agrees:
“U.S. bases on the U.S. island of Guam also would be hit by Chinese missiles and destroyed in the first hours of a war. In all but five of the war simulations, China attacked U.S. bases in Japan, Mr. Heginbotham said.”
They are saying that this inevitable war will probably occur sometime during the next six or seven years, or possibly sooner. Of course, they are claiming that the U.S. will be successful, and that Taiwan will remain free. However, all sides will suffer terrible loss in human lives, military hardware, human suffering and economic repercussions.
I have been collecting the following list of news articles and BBB blog posts to share with my online friends and family, which will explain to you exactly how and why the island of Guam will be seriously affected when the China-Taiwan-USA war begins in earnest. These articles will give you quite an education. Please do pray for us, if you feel so led, because it is not a matter of IF this war will occur, but rather of WHEN it will occur. GBY, and thank you!
