You may very well be right about US motives being to use Nauru as an South Pacific base if need be
Just As they have used Diago Garcia and closer to home Cocos Island.
Was on Cocos Islands about 5 years after the Australian Government had forced the Clunies-Ross family into sellin the Islandt to the Australian Governemnt.
After being there for a couple of months it was hard to work out why the Aust goverment was wasting money on the place. Until the Russians started to build up a navy presence in the area (to what turned out to be the recovery of a satalite) with in 48 hrs the whole place turned into a full blown Australian and US military base.
Sounds like another Diago Garcia being created by US and Australia.The B52 bombers fly from there to bomb Iraq.At $250 million it is cheaper to buy Nauru than build an aircraft carrier.From Nauru they could bomb China.N.Korea,Papua New Guinea,Indonesia and even Australia.A bargain.The population could be relocated to Australia.
