US bases in Australia: "The United States is close to a decision to spend tens of millions of dollars establishing permanent joint training facilities in northern Australia for its military forces. Defence Minister Robert Hill yesterday said he expected an in-principle decision next month on a plan that could see thousands of American soldiers, marines and air force personnel training at upgraded Australian bases."

The American empire is an empire of bases. Stopping the empire means shutting the bases. No sovereign country worthy of the name would ever tolerate foreign troops on its soil.
