IMO K Rudd should be the Aus Ambassador to China because
he knows more about China than any Aussie alive and he
speaks fluent Cantonese & he's an ex-pm.

PS: IMO the AUKUS subs are a sham and will never be built;
instead we'll be paying for a half dozen US Nuke subs patrolling
our region just as the Europeans will be asked to "pony up" and
pay for US protection. The US just can't keep on accruing debt
at the current rate on its military and proxy wars given that Cold War
arms spending sunk the USSR economically

The big benefit of Nuke subs is their Nuke arms and as such
they can supply a second strike and, perhaps as such, prevent a
first strike by either China or Russia or China/Russia combined.

The elephant in the room is "if we get Nuke Subs", will they be
nuke armed? If not, then they are merely show ponies because
the next major war will likely be Nuke and as such the Nuke
triumvirate will respectively regard a major war as existential .

So in summary, Rudd's talents are lost in the USA and would be
better employed as Ambassador to China where our real national wealth
has come from over the past 20 years.

Rudd called them and I quote "rat f*ers".

I doubt he's welcome there.
