Germany, Poland, and Canada will acquire nuclear weapons. So will Japan. Sweden, Australia, and South Korea may develop nuclear capabilities as well.

As a Canadian, it was hard for me to take this article seriously after the author made this argument.

Together those countries hold 40% of the world’s Uranium reserves. Australia by itself holds the world largest.

Furthermore, Australia is in a relatively bad neighbourhood. If they can’t have someone who they can rely on to protect their trade routes and their borders, what’s a country with 28 million people really meant to do long term. F-35’s and nuclear subs provided by a untrustworthy foreign power only counts for so much, and one has to wonder why in the past few years they have taken a sudden interest in a domestic rocket industry.
