US commander calls Guam attack video ‘propaganda’ - Taipei Times

The commander of Andersen Air Force Base on Guam yesterday said that a Chinese air force video that seemed to show a simulated attack on his facility was “propaganda” designed to coerce and antagonize.

The video showed H-6 bombers striking what appears to be Anderson, though it did not directly mention the base, as regional tensions rise and the US carries out a major biennial drill near Guam.

“I’m always concerned about our ability to protect our service members and their families,” US Brigadier General Jeremy Sloane, Andersen’s commander, told reporters on a conference call about the ongoing Valiant Shield exercises.

“The video itself — they know the timing of the exercise,” he said. “It’s a propaganda video ... although we’re always concerned about the protection of the island and the protection of our people, the video itself is just purely propaganda designed to coerce and antagonize us.”

The Chinese government has not commented on the video, which lifted scenes from Hollywood movies such as Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, to the amusement of posters on Chinese social media.

It was released on Saturday last week on the People’s Liberation Army Air Force’s (PLAAF) Sina Weibo account, in the midst of the Valiant Shield drill, lasting from Monday last week to yesterday.

Sloane said that Valiant Shield continued as scheduled.

“The exercise itself is going to go on as planned, because it’s designed to make sure that we’re trained and ready to conduct ourselves across a variety of operations in the Indo-Pacific and to support our allies and partners,” he said.

Guam is home to major US military facilities, including the air base, which would be key to responding to any conflict in the Asia-Pacific region.

The video also came as China carried out a second day of drills near Taiwan, to express anger at the visit of a senior US Department of State official — US Undersecretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy and the Environment Keith Krach — to Taipei.

The H-6 has been involved in multiple Chinese flights around and near Taiwan, the Ministry of National Defense said.


LOL... looks like they got the message. Families of all military service members in Guam have a bullseye marked on them

I hope you will join the attack on Guam perhaps fly the lead H-6 bomber.

Not just Guam but also US bases in Japan and Korea. They will all be wiped out.

All countries are propagating. Americans are too sensitive, which means that Americans are not confident.
In the past, Americans advertised themselves as the beacon of the world and the strongest military power in the world.
The United States is still the world’s strongest military power, but Americans’ confidence is gradually collapsing and their psychology has become sensitive.

Funny how the Chinese use hollywood movie scenes for their propaganda video.

Yup. They used American propaganda against Americans.

If China attacks US soil or oversea military facilities, the US will completely annihilate China and the facists hans.

No doubt about that. You are not even close to be able to compete with the US.

Here's the full video if anyone hasn't seen it yet.

The video suggests, China only needs to launch one missile fired from the H-6 bomber to destroy the base (not like how the Iranians fired 26 ballistic missiles at the US base in Iraq and caused minimal damage).

Japan's GDP per capita was 1/8 that of the US in 1935.

Economic history of Japan - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Other sources put total Japanese GDP at 1/4 that of the US.

https://www.cna.org/CNA_files/PDF/D0007249.A1.pdf

China has 75% the GDP of the US.

Imperial Japan was not very rich or strong - they just were the strongest in Asia because everyone else got colonized by Europeans and kicked when they were down.

For an example of just how Imperial Japan would've done if they actually faced monsters like the Soviets and Nazis directly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battles_of_Khalkhin_Gol

As a historical matter, I don't think Imperial Japan was weak at all in terms of technology or organization. They were fatally weakened by a lack of natural resources on the island and war against KMT / occupation insurgency made them unable to extract natural resources from the mainland while burning resources that otherwise could have gone to the Pacific War. Man-to-man they were probably superior to the Americans.

The video implies it won't be a conventional bomb

We already annihilated Americans in 1950. Now it's time to teach them another lesson 70 years later. This time, the nuclear gloves are off
