You must not have watched Earth Girls are Easy. Try to keep up with the science.
No wonder you do not have nukes.
Fucking colonials.
Who? The 'Sons and Daughters of the Southern Cross'?
We'll get nukes, one way or another..you watch us...we won't be jumping into the billabong to become ghosts until the very end.
Or maybe biological and chemical weapons...everybody else is, without sanction.
We don't have nukes because we fell for the 3 card trick;
Card 1: 'Signing nuclear non-proliferation treaties is best for world peace'.
Card 2: 'Sign defence alliances and you will be looked after, no need for nuclear weapons'.
Card 3: 'Defence alliances are an iron-clad guarantee of protection if attacked'.
Whereas nothing, absolutely nothing about defence alliances is guaranteed...protection/assistance is at the whim of the leaders/people of other countries at the time.
Which is fair enough, "look after yourself in this world, son...because nobody else will".
Exactly why every nation is now trying to arm itself as best it can.
Ukraine is a perfect example for other defenceless countries..."arm yourself with nukes and every missile known to man or you'll be slaughtered".
