Van JacksonHOST
Guam is a platform for power projection of the US military into the first island chain.
Van JacksonHOST
Obviously, if you're Chamorro, if you live in Guam, That's a problem because China is going to fucking power project at the sources of American power projection, which means America is attracting Chinese missiles toward Guam.
Van JacksonHOST
Guam didn't do anything to pose a threat to China, but in a war, Guam is going to be one of the first to go.
Van JacksonHOST
Why? Not because of anything that Chamorro did, but because of how Guam gets used by American military strategy.
Van JacksonHOST
So if you're having a first island chain strategy, yeah, you need to defend Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines, but you also need to use Guam and Palau in order to do that.
Van JacksonHOST
Now, the Pacific Center for Island Security was also not super thrilled about the positive argument in this report of embracing second island chain defense.

Brooke Jackson-GliddenGUEST
They're going to have this corn milk soup that's really popular and other house-baked pastries.
Joseph TchaikovskyGUEST
Surrender was not in their code, which is why they treated anyone who would surrender with such little regard, and probably why they didn't sign or acknowledge the Geneva Protocol, which was the Geneva Convention of the day.
Jon HagadornHOST
Now, Saipan had a large civilian population, did it not? And was it half Japanese and half Chamorro? Was that how it worked? There were Chamorro and
Joseph TchaikovskyGUEST
Japanese.
Joseph TchaikovskyGUEST
I'm not sure of the proportion of it.
Joseph TchaikovskyGUEST
But the Chamorros were the natives of the land.
Joseph TchaikovskyGUEST
And that's when the early Spanish mariners found the Chamorros to be so adept at thievery.
Joseph TchaikovskyGUEST
When Magellan was there, the Chamorros would swim out to the boats and just steal from them.
Joseph TchaikovskyGUEST
that the Spanish Mariners called the Marianas the Islands of Thieves.
Vin ArmaniGUEST
And they're on a little tiny island.
Vin ArmaniGUEST
And so everybody is part Carolinian and part Chamorro.
Vin ArmaniGUEST
So even in the Constitution where it says, where it defines who's Carolinian and Chamorro, it's not defined by your blood.
Vin ArmaniGUEST
It's defined by whether or not you were here at the time that the covenant was signed.
Vin ArmaniGUEST
Or your
