yes, this is where Australia & the US should tread very lightly, I think Trump trash doesn't care about bases in Australia or anywhere else , or anything like that, he want's to stop the bleeding, and rightly so, but it has to be in non critical areas, certainly not military bases, Albanese better high tail over to Trump trash and do some explaining.
This is a critical bad situation for Australia, and I hope that they all understand that ...... if China decides to bomb Darwin ... Australia wouldn't last 2 days maybe ...
This really is a sad turning point if the US does not support Australia. It will only escalate... imo
