#5  We should home port two of those crappy littoral ships in Taiwan configured with the over the horizon naval strike missile. And two more in the Philippines, and Vietnam. They would be a cheap trip wire, with a serious counter punch.

Such a move would put China's navy on the horns of a dilemma if they wanted to start something.

#4  They already dock in Kaohsiung, sometimes conducting war games with Taiwan Marines.

#3  Port calls in DaNang and Cam Ranh Bay would also spin the Chicoms up. The Chinese and Vietnamese hate each other.

#1  That would be a very Trumpian move. Let's hope the Big Guy reads the 'Burg!
