Australia again shows that it is serving as a vassal state of the United States of America.

🚨 Don’t be fooled: Australia is up to its neck in supporting the US in the illegal war on Iran. ▪️Pine Gap spy base intel being used by the US for targeting of missile and bomb strikes in Iran ▪️NW Cape communications base assisting US killer subs including against Iran ▪️ Australia has a military base in Gulf region at ADF Middle East Headquarters at Al Minhad Airbase in UAE ▪️100+ military personnel of Joint Task Force 633 stationed at the ADF Middle East Headquarters at Al Minhad Airbase in UAE ▪️50+ RAN personnel serving on US nuclear submarines, including in Middle East area ▪️Australian ADF personnel (number not disclosed) are embedded in the Combined Air Operations Centre (CAOC) of the forward headquarters of CENTCOM, the US Central Command at the Udeid Airbase in Qatar. ▪️85 personnel deployed to support the E-7A Wedgetail battle management aircraft operating out of Al Minhad base ▪️16+ personnel deployed with US’s Combined Maritime Forces at the US Fifth Fleet Headquarters in Bahrain ▪️ADF personnel deployed in support of the Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAMs) provided to UAE for use with UAE F-16 fighters ▪️Unknown numbers of SAS special forces soldiers as well as ASIS intelligence agents likely deployed to locations in Gulf area. ▪️E7-A Wedgetail battle coordination aircraft deployed to UAE and integrated with US military operations ▪️C-17A Globemaster transport plane deployed to UAE ▪️KC-30A Multi-Role Tanker midair refueler deployed to UAE Canberra says Australia is “not involved” because it is not dropping the bombs itself. That is the usual deception. But modern war is not just the aircraft over the target.  Australia is providing intelligence architecture, intelligence collection, communication systems, military intelligence specialists, and the political cover that helps support the illegal war. In a globally networked world, it is the satellite feed, the launch detection, the target support, the command post, the battle management platform, the submarine signals, the refuelling base, the overflight corridor, the embedded officers inside the coalition forces.  The country that provides those things is not outside the war, but is an intricate part of it.

The US Airforce receives data from the Warramunga Seismic Station to integrate with Pine Gap’s data—allowing better battlefield decision making. Warrramunga’s Nuclear detonation data will be useful to the US when the nukes start flying between it & China. johnmenadue.com/post/2026/02/i…

As we here are @BaseWatchAU have long pointed out, the AUKUS subs deal was always a key element in the ‘Information Operation’ to prevent Australian domestic opposition to the establishment of numerous US warfighting bases across Australia. Sort of like happened in Ukraine...

Easily 100 times I must have predicted precisely this outcome. We don’t get the boats but we get to station US nuclear subs. Farewell forever any notion of a sovereign Australia as we also render ourselves a big fat target. theguardian.com/world/2026/feb…

This is a meaningless gesture while the invitation to Herzog stands. You want us to worry about some minor online racist, while you welcome the chief mouthpiece of a genocidal state? theguardian.com/australia-news…

The US is militarising Australia by increment. Darwin’s US Marines Base is no longer just a ‘rotational training’ base, but is now an operational deployed force. “MRF-D 25.3: Forging a stand-in force legacy” > United States Marine Corps Flagship > News marines.mil/News/News-Disp…
