The potential start of America's next war: Guam.

Guam, a vital military outpost for the United States in the Pacific, is vulnerable to Chinese missile strikes and is only thinly defended. The Pentagon has requested $1.5bn to start beefing up the island’s air defences in the 2024 fiscal year, much of it for the Missile Defence Agency (MDA), which focuses mainly on missile threats against the American homeland, and the rest to the army. Guam's people may worry that ever more military hardware on Guam will endanger them or scare away tourists.
