    australia puts another target on its back, asks you don't look at the target

    The Department of Defence has confirmed Australia provided support for the US strikes on underground bunkers used by Yemen’s Houthi rebels “through access and overflight for US aircraft in northern Australia”.

    The ABC understands air-to-air refuelling aircraft were part of the mission, although the defence department has declined to confirm.

    “We obviously are part of a global effort to make sure that terrorists are not able to interdict free trade, are not able also to threaten the lives of Australians or indeed Australia’s interest around the world,” he said.

    “So of course we work with our allies and our partners to achieve that aim.”

    Mr Gosling said there are “no deliberate messages being sent from Australia, other than we are in lock-step with our allies in order to uphold a rules-based order upon which Australia’s security and prosperity is so dependent”.

    who-did-this

    In October 2022, Four Corners revealed that the US Air Force would build a “squadron operations facility” at RAAF Tindal air base, south of Darwin.

    Two US B-2 bombers landed at Amberley Air Force Base near Brisbane in August, according to a post on X from an account calling itself the Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri.

    Whiteman is where the US Air Force bases its fleet of B-2 bombers, which is believed to number 19 operational warplanes, according to the New York Times.
