Running a Gauntlet

When you start to defend the first island chain, defend the first island chain:

Japan may deploy surface-to-ship missiles to Okinawa’s main island in response to Chinese maritime aggression, according to local media reports.

Japan is already moving forward with plans for anti-ship missiles on Miyako and Ishigaki islands, which are part of Okinawa prefecture, as well as Amami Island in Kagoshima Prefecture.

There have been calls in Tokyo to install the missiles in response to China’s navy transiting the 180-mile strait between Okinawa and Miyako in the East China Sea.

Make it a turkey shoot kill sack, if they can.
