Someone else here said the US have drones based here in Australia, I wonder where? What on earth (no pun intended) would be in drone range of Australia that the Yanks would be interested in looking at?

That would make Australia an aggressor nation which deserves every and any retributions the Chinese give back to you.
Grow a spine and tell the Americans where to go.

I just changd the wording in my quote,because it sounded as though it was definitely there to spy on China and thats not what I meant sorry,it discuss`s what it will be spying on,the whole area boats etc
But yes, if they start spying on China we are the agressor and will get China pissed off if they are not already.
Australia doesn`t need this and I wish Aussie`s had more of a say in their presence here.

That is your (very narrow minded) opinion. Britain is proud to have Australia as part of the commonwealth, we are proud of their achievements as a nation. I have read through some of your comments and you are either trolling, or you are a very bitter, lonely person, do you need a hug to release some of that anger?
Any Australians reading this thread, please ignore this guys comments as he is in the minority when it comes to these medieval, backwards thoughts, and judging by his attitude, probably wont be on ATS very long.

From what I can gather, it is the Americans who will be making the hostile (if you class spying as hostile) moves, albeit from Australia soil. However, it seems (sadly) we are already linked to American military actions, and disowning Australia wouldn't change that.edit on 26/5/12 by woogleuk because: (no reason given)

Of course, America doesn't have a military presence in the United Kingdom, silly me, I forgot
We cannot, and should not hate a country because of the actions of others, maybe Australia feels it has no choice, maybe they are doing it in the spirit of co-operation, who knows, but it certainly doesn't justify giving them the cold shoulder.
