    The notion of such tsunami is preposterous at best. A tsunami or Megatsunami require a source within line of travel without any meaningful obstacle in the way. Anyone with decent map / chart could easily deduce that Balikpapan is pretty damn safe from geological related catastrophe (which is the main reason it was chosen).

    The primary concern there is WHEN ChiCom based their bomber or missiles within what currently is Philippines archipelago. The current line of thinking here assumed that they will launch saturated missile attack. Which is the main reason the current planning call for procurement of either PAC-3 or THAAD from US, although I rather skeptic that US Congress will approve the procurement considering we fully intent to use them to abuse Communist human right and also indirectly killing a lot of trees and animals while doing so.

    Good morning Varuna,

    I knew you'd appreciate reading this "study" !

    A couple of years ago, the US positioned a THAAD next to Seoul, South Korea. It makes Seoul and Inchon into a beacon light ! Probably less than a month later I'm sure PLA had an undercover division of Mao's "fish in the river" living and working near the battery. The missiles are of little concern to China. It is the radar.

    South Korea and Philippines might become something like the Central Asian "republics". No need to worry about Indonesia. Nations with > 100 million population are part of the New World Order.

    The "wild card" I'm watching is who will get or what will be the sharing arrangements for Tokyo's FOREX.

    Missile, Radar, Command system, and the crew are a UNIT. The missiles themselves are useless without target search & illumination and vice-versa.

    It wont become apparent to the general public until at least 20 years from now.

    Good afternoon Varuna,

    True, a unit ... but the prime priority target is the radar component.
