China Could Wipe Out Every U.S. Base In Asia In The Opening Hours Of A War...

A GREAT WORLD CONFLICT
"Wars are a punishment for man's sin. Satan promotes these wars by using the weakness of man. As long as man idolizes and searches for the temporal things of this world, earth, he will go farther from the laws set forth by his God. As long as man turns from the laws of his God, he will be engaged in conflict of war. Before the coming of My Son and the armies of Heaven, there will be a great world conflict. Pray that your loved ones do not become involved.” – Our Lady of the Roses, November 1, 1972

MAN SUBMITS HIS WILL TO SATAN
"Your earth will be cleansed by a baptism of fire. In this way We shall separate the sheep from the goats. Wars are a punishment for man's sins. They will never end as long as man submits his will to satan.” – Our Lady of the Roses, August 14, 1972

Summary and Key Points: America’s network of major bases across Asia — its biggest bet for deterring China — now sits within range of Beijing’s vast missile, drone, and hypersonic arsenal, which dwarfs anything Iran fielded in the recent war.

-Key sites like Guam remain lightly hardened, and analysts, including Hudson’s “Concrete Sky” report, warn that shelters are too few.

-With a massive defense budget request on the table, the urgent question is whether Washington can harden its Pacific bases before China is ready to act.

China’s Missiles are Far More Powerful Than Iran’s 

One of America’s biggest defense investments, and one of the capabilities that the Pentagon believes is its greatest asset in any way with China, might actually be the US military’s greatest vulnerability. That’s a reference to the 30- 40 major named US military bases across Asia. Numerous smaller sites, logistics hubs, and shared facilities support these larger facilities. What’s more, these bases and support facilities house tens of thousands of active-duty military and War Department civilian personnel.

America has spent decades since the end of the Second World War building these key bases throughout the Indo-Pacific. Now, every one of them has gone from being force multipliers for the US military to major strategic liabilities.

That’s entirely because of China’s commitment to its anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) strategy. This strategy insists upon denying the US military forward bases from where the Americans can launch attacks against Chinese forces that could either be attacking Taiwan or another US ally, like Japan or the Philippines.

The Iran War as a Warning for a China War

Washington got a taste of how easily US military bases in a contested region can go from strategic assets to vulnerabilities in the recent Iran War. The US had established more than a dozen key US military facilities around the Islamic Republic of Iran. The moment hostilities started, though, the Iranians used their potent ballistic missile and drone capabilities to flatten those facilities.

Now, there is real concern in Washington that they will not be allowed to reconstitute the bases in any meaningful way. Due to political issues arising over the Iran War, there is even more worry about the local governments not welcoming the Americans back to their countries.

After all, the US bases in the Arab states made those Arab nations target priorities for Iranian missiles and drones.

Those attacks caused massive damage to the region’s economies.

Asian states that host US bases are likely looking at the Arab experience and getting worried about what might befall their countries. What’s more, the US bases in question had to be massively evacuated in the run-up to hostilities because defending those bases from the level of Iranian swarm attacks was not possible, given limitations on US defensive stockpiles. Any war with China would increase those risks to American bases in Asia tenfold.

China has infinitely more missiles and drone swarms, to say nothing of advanced hypersonic weapons, than did the Iranians in the recent war.

America’s Bases Are Not Ready for a China Missile War

What’s more, the US bases in the Mideast were poorly prepared to come under attack. Few planners in Washington apparently understood that the Iranians could easily lay siege to those American bases with their missile and drone swarms. That lack of understanding within the Pentagon meant that shelters on the bases were few and poorly defended.

Similar conditions exist in American facilities throughout the Indo-Pacific. And Chinese weapons have a greater range than even those Iranian missiles and drones had over the Americans.

The First Island Chain Problem: Iran

Forward-positioned US bases within what’s known as the First Island Chain (the region extending from the Kamchatka Peninsula through Japan and Taiwan down to the Philippines) are especially at risk of Chinese attack. There are around 15 bases in Japan alone that are now under threat. But the Chinese range on their missiles exceeds that of the First Island Chain today. They can threaten some US bases in the Second Island Chain.

Per the Hudson Institute’s Concrete Sky Report, forward-deployed American bases have seen finite investment in hardening their infrastructure. Guam, the most important US military base in the region, has not even been hardened. The Americans have built a few hardened shelters not only for their personnel on the bases but also for the expensive platforms stationed there.

B-2 Spirit long-range stealth bombers are left undefended on the tarmac, for instance.

A Budget Fix May Come Too Late

While the newest request for the US defense budget is for an astonishing $1.5 trillion, a large portion of which is going toward general increases in US base defenses, it will take some time for those modifications to occur–and there is no guarantee that even a friendly Republican-controlled Congress will ultimately agree to that level of defense spending.

With fears abounding that the Chinese are readying to initiate hostilities in the First Island Chain soon, as reports proliferate proving this author’s original reporting that the US military’s stockpiles of key weapons systems–notably air defenses–are being drained at crisis levels (with a more than five-year lag time for replacing those systems), the chances are high that America’s critical bases in Asia will soon fall under attack.

And that the attacks on those bases will succeed in knocking them out, thereby negating whatever power projection the US military intends to deploy once China initiates hostilities against its US-backed neighbors.

Rethinking America’s Strategy in Asia

A wiser course of action by Washington would be to reduce its footprint, at least in the First Island Chain, before hostilities began, and to reorganize its entire grand strategy for deterring China there.

Frankly, the US has lost the First Island Chain to China’s missile overmatch there. It is unlikely that Washington can easily flip the math on that overmatch anytime soon, given America’s severe defense-industrial deficits.

Keeping US forces forward-deployed there is irresponsible because their presence drives China toward hostility, and the current force imbalance, which now favors China, ensures that critical American units will be lost before they can even engage in a fight.

"The judgment of your God is not akin to the judgment of man. The Eternal Father will only judge by the heart. Your rank, your accumulation of worldly goods does not set you up before another. Many have sold their souls within the holy House of God. Better that you strip yourself and remove all worldly interests now while you have the time to make amends to your God, for many mitres will fall into hell." - St. Thomas Aquinas, August 21, 1972
