Examples of show of force in a Sentence

2. Wu Qian:

3. Susan Collins:

It's also so surprising. Every time I have seen that map that shows where our naval assets are, believe me, the Pentagon knows exactly where they are. So I suspect there was some sort of just terrible miscommunication but it should not have occurred.

4. Adam Kinzinger:
