Shortest Way for Australia to develop Nuclear Weapons: Hire 1,000s of Israelis.

Can the Trump/Hegseth regime presiding over formerly trustworthy America now be trusted to endanger its own nuclear safety in order to protect its allies like Ukraine, NATO, Australia and free Asia nations against nuclear aggressors? Instead the new US is a potential future threat to Canada, Denmark-Greenland and even resource rich Australia.

South Korea has ample conventional submarine protection in its tiny geo-strategic region, but it shares a long land border with nuclear armed North Korea. It is only a nuclear armed South Korea that could deter North Korea from nuclear blackmail. Hence South Korea is building nuclear powered submarines as apex nuclear weapon deterrent platforms against North Korea.

Against nuclear armed North Korea, China and Russia Japan has retained tonnes of weapons usable Plutonium and has retained a $multi-billion Enriched Uranium-Plutonium reprocessing factory.

As nuclear weapons proliferate to Australia's north over the next 20 years Australia only has those 2 decades to build our own nuclear capability in time. 

Here's another view based on the old "US will defend us" assumption. A no-change hope that nuclear weapons will not proliferate to our north in South Korea, Japan or maybe to Taiwan.

The shortest, cheapest way for Australia to develop nuclear explosives and weapons would be to hire 1,000s of Israelis to build a "Dimona style complex" along with missiles of all types designed to carry nuclear war-heads. All of these activities could occur in Australia's ample desert areas (vastly larger than the Negev).

This would be useful in a future Australian nuclear deterrent situation where Australia is under medium-long term threat from the usual suspects: 

A.  China of course if Chinese expansionism did not stop at Taiwan. "Regional security analysts and Taiwanese officials warn that China's strategic ambitions would expand to neighboring Indo-Pacific nations, key maritime choke points, and global technological supply chains if Beijing annexed Taiwan. [1, 2]"

and 

B.  Suspects now include a continuation of constant aggressive American expansionist war making. Trumpism in the extreme aims at making Canada the 51st state and maybe Australia the 52nd.

Trumpism breaks traditional U.S. foreign policy molds by rejecting long-term military entanglements while simultaneously deploying aggressive, transactional, and extraction-focused force. 

"Though early Trumpism was frequently characterized as "isolationist" due to its skepticism of nation-building and traditional alliances like NATO, the philosophy evolved toward what critics call a "new imperialism" or "nationalist interventionism". [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

The foreign policy framework of Trumpism can be understood across several dimensions:

Direct, Resource-Driven Force Over Long-Term Wars

Unlike the neoconservative "forever wars" or liberal internationalist "nation-building" interventions of past decades, Trumpism rejects prolonged military occupations. Instead, it favors hyper-kinetic, unilateral actions designed to achieve immediate, tangible economic or resource benefits: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Resource Seizure: Trumpist military strategy openly embraces resource extractivism—such as seizing oil fields—as a legitimate objective of military deployment, breaking from previous eras where interventions were justified through the export of democracy or human rights. [1, 2]"
