Air Force to send six nuclear-capable B-52s to Australia amid tension with China: Report
The Air Force is preparing to send six B-52 bombers and build supportive facilities for the aircraft in northern Australia amid heightened tensions with China, according to a report.
The United States will create a “squadron operations facility” for the use and storage of the planes during Australia’s dry season, which will include a maintenance center and a parking area for the six nuclear-capable planes. The facilities will be constructed on the Tindal air base, approximately 190 miles south of Darwin, the capital of Australia’s Northern Territory.

Everything the world needs, food, grains, commodities, oil, NG, diesel, energy, metals, rare inert gas, fertilizer, coal, etc….do realize Russia is self sufficient, and has been the world’s exporter of many items.
What I find amusing is senile Joe’s “ sanctions”, the West dug a hole for Russia then Vlad pushed them into it. Vlads reverse sanctions are strangling the EU….while Vlad is making billions on their energy sales.
….and Vlad says checkmate, again and again.
