Former NATO general secretary Lord Robertson has warned it is vital for NATO to prevent Scotland’s secession from the United Kingdom, saying it would be “cataclysmic” for the entire planet, and ruinous for the alliance. Lord Robertson, who was a Defence Secretary during Tony Blair’s government, went on to claim Scottish secession would be cheered loudly by the enemies of Britain, and would amount to a dramatic victory for the “forces of darkness.” He also warned Scotland would not be allowed to join NATO as an independent nation because of its opposition to nuclear weapons, saying NATO would never accept an anti-nuke member. That position seems unlikely, since Germany is a member in NATO and has similarly been fighting tooth and nail to get the US to remove nuclear weapons from their territory. The anti-nuke stance is growing among European members, and Scotland would just be one more of them. On the other hand it isn’t clear what NATO membership would get Scotland, since their only border is with England, who they are seceding from. Its only other close neighbor, Ireland, is actually a good example of why Scotland doesn’t need NATO, an independent power which has avoided getting sucked into most major modern wars. Poster Comment: "Yes, it would be terrible if the military-industrial complex lost its supply of cannon fodder and tax subsidies."

Robertson is clearly a NWO lackey and mindless tool. Go Scotland, leave the murderous turds behind.

Seems to be harder for Jews to get political control in small independent states and have their military and other resources used for propping up the illegal Israeli state.
I would like to see the 2 Houses of my late father's lines: Ireland and Scotland, nuke-up a new mutual defense-economic-etc comtmt to individually and together counter NATO...or anyone else for that matter.
I wish that they'd join up with Iran and really stir the ME-pot to its boiling conclusion. Keep it where it really belongs. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams
