Honestly it's all a bit strange, the various attacks on the US / UK/ France / Germany were all over the media in Australia, and the general sentiment was that they are an attack on us, despite them happening literally on the other side of the planet, and the conflict in Syria is closer. When the Australian media talk about who North Korea might decide to fire nuclear weapons at, of course the topic comes up of "where in Australia is in range".
People in my home state worry about what the US, China, Russia, North Korea, and ISIS are all up to despite being arguably on the safest bit of land on Earth, its just bizarre and I didn't see it until I spent a number of years in the UK.
