Fortuitous timing? Neighbouring Thailand is still a US ally, after all.

Australia needs to redouble its efforts in Congress. They hold the purse strings.

Was lucky to get a tour of USS Ohio over 10 years ago. A capability (150 TLAM + Mk 48 torpedoes) that will be sorely missed when they retire.
This is USS Ohio’s first visit to Brisbane and the first visit of a vessel of its class. These two U.S. Navy vessels are visiting Australia to engage with our long-standing ally and reaffirm our unwavering commitment to the Indo-Pacific region. 🔗

No trip to Darwin complete without a few WWII mudlarking spoils from the old Catalina base. Some outgoing rounds, possibly some incoming fragments.

Rare as British warship visits now sadly are, has there EVER been a Norwegian man-o-war in these nether waters before?.

The 🇹🇭🇰🇭 clashes are obviously localised in their origins and immediate impact. Still, it’s striking how the axis of armed conflict is moving steadily across the Rimlands, from Black Sea to Mediterranean, to Red-Sea, Gulf, South Asia and now deep within SE Asia.
Fighting on the Thailand-Cambodia border entered a third day as hundreds of Cambodians fled and Malaysia called for an immediate ceasefire

Important point. Joint training means that learning is always a two-way street.
🇦🇺🤝🇵🇭 . Australian and Philippine sappers joined forces in 📍 Mindanao, Philippines. While the sappers from 1st Combat Engineer Regiment taught things such as building field obstacles, explosive breaching and search techniques, their Philippine counterparts taught the

Learned today that HMS Richmond was part of the last 🇬🇧 carrier visit to 🇦🇺in 1997, 28 years ago. A long time between drinks.

But one can still have fun trying.
“You can’t out-subsidise China”. Mixed results and investment decisions offer reality check on green iron✳️.

This is more interchangeabilty than interoperability. A bit soulless, tbh, but advantageous to both allies.
Ready, jet, go ⚡ . An #AusAirForce F-35A Lightning II and a @usairforce KC-46 Pegasus tanker prepares for take off from RAAF Base Darwin during #ExerciseTalismanSabre 25. 🇦🇺🛫🇺🇸 . 📸 | SGT David Gibbs . #YourADF #StrongerTogether

From today’s AUKMIN joint statement: “HMS Prince of Wales is the first UK aircraft carrier to visit Australia since 1997 and the deployment demonstrates the UK's ongoing commitment to increase interoperability with Australia in the Indo-Pacific.”.

It’s not all about the tech @jcmgurkha.
📍 Shoalwater Bay Training Area, QLD. Soldiers from the @Gurkha_Brigade performed a Gurkha Kukri skills demonstration during Exercise @TalismanSabre 2025. The Royal Gurkha Rifles are Infantry, manned by Nepali soldiers and officers, alongside British officers. #YourADF

Some might say it was earlier than 2021. But I don’t think UK MoD would have used the term, even on social media. Anyway… on with the rugby.

Interesting use of “allies”. I think 🇬🇧 and 🇦🇺 have been customary allies since AUKUS, but new treaties are pushing it closer to formal status. The test, as always, will be whether an Australian minister can utter the A-word.
Allies in defence, but rivals in rugby 🇬🇧🇦🇺. From joint combat training to working side-by-side at sea, the Armed Forces of the UK and Australia team up to keep both our countries safe. As we face the infamous #Wallabies today, we wish good luck to our #Lions 🏉
