Understanding this quote
The quote warns that, if Japan enters another war, Okinawa would face the first attack because it hosts military bases. It presents the bases as the reason Okinawa would be targeted before other parts of Japan. The statement is therefore both a prediction about the order of attack and a concern about the danger military facilities could bring to the area.
