@Builder,
and do I have to remind you again about 5 eyes, why can't you understand the agreements and partnerships. Out of curiosity, for you have even a glimmer of understanding regarding who funds who. Is your brain so fevered you think my country doesn't send your country massive amounts of US taxpayer money???? I understand that Australia doesn't fund any US endeavors but we are cool with that.
Are you under the impression that Aussie land only partners with the US???? Can you consider Great Britain, Canada, New Zealand???? No, you really can't??? Wake up semi-partner, and look into your own budget and see if you can find your governments tran sparancy on how MUCH money the other 4 eyes pour into Australia.
