    The fly in the ointment is: it's approx 3k miles across the Pacific. If we are going to fight a war from and for the outer island chain, it will have to have support closer than 10 days by ship away. That support will require cover.

    The outer island chain is underneath China's missile umbrella and plans will have to be made accordingly. China also has the element of making the first move. If the Philippines doesn't open fire on it first. China just rammed two of its Coast Guard ships.
