I am not sure if anybody can confirm this. Rumours say that US ships could potentially be resupplied in Taiwan. http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2017/09/09/2003678087

Now, there are several aspects that are worth exploring.
First of all, Mr. Duterte. Or should we say, vacillating “treaty-allies”.
2. Recently retired Chief of Naval Operations (http://english.president.gov.tw/News/5173)
3. National Defense Authorization Act HR.2810
4. North Korea contingency??

What do you guys think? Do you think it’s fake news, or if there’s a curious development related to or caused by 1234?

The entire article is based on a rumor. TT should not have even written it.

Yes there’s no doubt this Liberty Times article is based on a rumour.

How do you think public opinion would react to this rumour? With indifference? Backfired? Is this a kind of psychological warfare?
