  • Guam serves as a major military base for the United States, with U.S. Air Force and Navy installations occupying some 29 percent of the island's total land area. It is also a major hub for submarine communications cables between the western United States, Hawaii, Australia, and Asia. Guam, with an area of only 544 square kilometers, hosts a military presence of nearly 7,000 military personnel and it is expected to house thousands more in the near future, as the United States moves military assets and personnel currently housed on the Japanese island of Okinawa.

      @@ganonjesuschrist2053 when people try to claim China has exceeded the US in power its pretty easy to point out that the US has bases surrounding China and is essentially a neighbor, while China can barely stretch their influence past the South China Sea. They're kind of trapped with the US and allies to the North and East, and a hostile India via southern/western routes (plus allied American bases like Diego Garcia). Similar with Russia, they've never really been able to escape the black sea and Baltic, they've even had serious problems using their Siberian ports for much. The US basically owns the Atlantic from their coast to Europe and Africa, and they own the pacific from their coast to Polynesia, the Philippines, and Japan. Even the Japanese had a hell of a time getting to Hawaii for a brief strike and never thought they could reach past there, even getting close was largely out of the game after Pearl Harbor and China and Russia have a piss poor track record with naval warfare for most of their history.
