Might as well take it. Trump probably doesn’t even know what Pine Gap is. FFS, he didn’t even know what AUKUS was!

There was a political parody comedy radio series in the 80s called “How Green was my Cactus”.
I remember a negotiation between “King Bonza” (Bob Hawke) and a simulacrum of Reagan discussing letting Australia win the Americas Cup yacht race.
KB “Let us win or we’ll force you to tell us what’s at Pine Gap”. R “you will need to force us to tell you where it is first” KB “Then we will send Don Lane home” R “no! Anything but that! OK, you win”
