    Should Australia get The Bomb?

    In the title and best kept as theory. But at least worth exploring this. Certainly we have a AH history option which above all shows Australia doesn't lack the theoretical capacity to achieve this. But in terms of operations, it would seem best for them to either build silos or road train...
