ballistic missiles scheduled for this weekend in the midst of Russian President Vladimir Putin's attack on Ukraine so he does not 'misunderstand' the move. Defense Department Spokesperson John Kirby said the move is a show of 'restraint' after the Russian leader put his country's nuclear forces on high alert and continues his assault on Ukraine.
The delay of missile testing comes after
the U.S. Air Force flexed its military muscles Tuesday at one of its
airbases in Japan, showcasing a fleet of more than two dozen warplanes
in an apparent effort to deter Chinese forces from invading the
self-governing island of Taiwan.
The
display of military might at Kadena Air Base, which officials called a
'routine wing readiness exercise,' comes two days after President Joe
Biden dispatched several former senior defense staffers to the island
nation in a show of support, as many wonder whether Russia's invasion of
Ukraine could trigger a Chinese invasion of the country." DM
