U.S. reminds China, nuclear-armed subs are always here

Hello from New York. Does Beijing see a golden opportunity to take action in the Taiwan Strait while the U.S. is occupied with Ukraine? While we do not know, the U.S. military is certainly making sure that the Chinese leadership has no such illusions.   Naval News calculated that as much as 346,000 tons of steel were on display in the Philippine Sea on Saturday as the U.S. and Japan gathered some of their biggest ships for a drill. China responded the next day by sending 39 aircraft into Taiwan's air defense identification zone.   The most subtle yet loudest message, however, could have been a tweet posted last week by the Pacific Fleet: that a nuclear-armed boomer was in Guam.
