      Complicit.

      “Two high-tech US surveillance aircraft have made an “unexpected” stopover into Western Australia just days after the Trump administration began its bombing of Iran, but officials are refusing to discuss details of the visit.

      The Nightly can reveal the American P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol and reconnaissance planes arrived at Perth’s RAAF Base Pearce on Monday afternoon after flying from the joint US-UK military base on Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.”

      Alright, so I guess clearly we’re a part of this and we’re just being lied to.

      I wrote to my local MP (Labor) on Monday morning to ask what he was personally doing to ensure we, Australians, were not complicit in another illegal war in the Middle East.

      He hasn’t replied yet.

      This whole thing has a really worrying capacity to get quickly out of control, and no matter the reasoning touted, we should not be involved in any way whatsoever.

      Clickbaity headline. They know you won’t click if they say it was P-8A Poseidons, which we have our own fleet of and is way less interesting than “high tech US spy plane”

      I mean, they are our allies, and they own parts of Australia. And we are part of the joint intelligence sharing initiative with them. How is this a surprise?

      The same type of “high tech spy plane”, i.e. maritime patrol aircraft, that we ourselves operate.
