Obama is trying not to be the POTUS who kicks us into a nuclear confrontation. But unless his military build up in Guam deters them, this could become a disaster of incredible proportions.

In a strong and unmistakable signal to North Korea and China, the U.S. Air Force has deployed three types of strategic bombers to its base on Guam.

The B-1, B-2 and B-52 bombers are together for the first time in the Pacific. The muscling up comes after China’s recent rejection of an international tribunal saying its claims to the South China Sea, where it has constructed artifical islands, are not valid.

China responded to the ruling by launching fighter jets. Satellite photos show new hangers on its contested islands in the South China Sea. In addition, North Korea recently launched a ballistic missile that traveled more than 600 miles into Japanese waters.

The U.S. Strategic Command (STRATCOM) stations nuclear-capable bombers in the Pacific to deter aggression in the region. But sending all three powerful bombers on Andersen Air Force Base in Guam represents a major escalation.

“This mission demonstrated the U.S. commitment to supporting global security and our ability to launch a credible strategic defense force,” Brig. Gen. Douglas Cox, the 36th Wing commander said of recent exercises involving the bombers in an Air Force statement.

Several B-1s and more than 300 Airmen from Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota arrived at Andersen earlier this month to replace the B-52s assigned to Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota.

Additionally, three B-2s arrived from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri on Aug. 9 to conduct local sorties and regional training. During the deployment, members of the 509th Bomb Wing will hone skills in such key areas as command and control, air refueling and long-range navigation, while directly interacting with allied military forces, officials said in a statement.

Both presidential candidates have been alerted of the possible nuclear confrontation and the possibility of a need to preempt a nuclear attack by the other side.

Both N. Korea and China are watching the election process very carefully because they believe the US is most susceptible during its transition between POTUS.

But that shit is over with as you have said. I support Hilary in every way I can. But fuck respecting the office of POTUS. Racist whites tore that concept up when they went after Obama with the nastiest comments, portrayals, images, and insults I have ever seen against a POTUS.

All the while, with most of white america accepting it with a smile and a wink while searching history to show us that something like that had been done in the past or just claiming “freedom of speech.”

So to you Francis#35, I say get used to it. The republicans started it and as Michelle said in her own words, we will finish it.

As for your assertion that these types of disgusting insults are “meaningless from a prez campaign standpoint.” Evidently not since trump used those exact tactics to win the republican nomination.

If one party selected a candidate based on his willingness to go “indescent and gutteral,” then you should not expect the opposing party to just sit quietly and accept his disgusting behavior.

Where were you 8 years ago when the racists and the right were demeaning the POTUS and the First Family at every opportunity, or a short few months ago when this creep was demeaning the other 16 republican candidates for the republican nomination?

I despise hypocrites like you.
