Recent reports of US B-2 bombers using Australian assistance to attack targets in Yemen brings into focus the increased use of Australian assets to assist US military operations, and with it a set of questions about who authorises these missions, and more importantly, who denies them.

bipartisan support exists for Washington’s Israeli genocide; they clearly have no idea about what they are doing or seem to care. It’s that they are selling out our future for nothing in lieu of any good ideas. AUKUS lies in tatters as our sudden, overcomplicated and unnecessary entanglement with Washington & leaves us with limited options moving forward. It all seems so ridiculous and unnecessary and lazy.

Why has Australia assisted in a US bombing mission to the Middle East?
