“We have tested them and we have a battery or two of them today,” Flynn said. “In 2024. We intend to deploy that system in your region [the Pacific]. I’m not going to say where and when. But I will just say that we will deploy them.”

Every day we inch closer and closer to war in the Pacific… Was war in Europe (Russia v. Ukraine and the US-led NATO) and war in the Middle East (Gaza v. Israel and the US) not enough?

A deal was made to sell 400 Tomahawk Cruise Missiles to Japan to defend their nation against Chinese aggression.
