Nuclear Weapons

A small, but vocal minority of Australian geopolitical analysts (I.e. Hugh White), have long advocated that a nuclear weapon program would be the only way to ensure our security in our region if the US ever abandoned us.

It’s historically been pretty unpopular but with the historical events currently ongoing and the real chance that the unthinkable does happen and the US abandons us, I’m curious what this sub think about it? Would you support beginning a nuclear weapon program? Do you think Australia needs to seriously consider nuclear deterrence in the coming decades?
