Stratfor schätzt, dass die USA Probleme haben werden, für ihre Ankündigung landgestützte Mittelstreckenraketen in Ostasien stationieren zu wollen, Länder zu finden, die sich dazu bereit erklären werden: „The first type of missiles the United States wishes to deploy is the land-based variants of existing types such as the BGM-109 Tomahawk and, potentially, JASSM-ER cruise missiles. […] Overall, Washington will have few problems in deploying the missiles in places like Guam, but it will have a hard time convincing foreign allies to host them.” (jw)
