As a foreigner, should I be for or against independence?

You should be for it. As a foreigner you should hate the English imperialism, and respect the innate need for every native race to assert themselves. That and it gives America a wake up call too, since they just lost their biggest ally if it happens.

The Scottish aren't a race, let alone a native one. They're a country. What makes a Lowlander any different race from a Northumbrian across the wall?

Learn your own history better, you child.

They don't need to learn their own history, as they clearly aren't Scottish. They need to learn how to troll better.

Scotland is America's biggest ally?

No, England and its rented Nukes are. Washington can tell London to do anything it wants, and if England refuses then they just mention about not letting them use America's nukes anymore and it is dance-dance Englishman.

Trouble is, England has nowhere to store those nukes except in Scotland. They have to take sub launches, and they have no deep harbours except next to major cities. Everywhere else is basically shallow beaches and mud. If Scotland goes, and we all hope it does, then England ceases to be a nuclear power, is set free from Washington's demands and even if it does do what the Pentagon wants, has no global leverage anyway.

Vote Yes Scotland, vote Yes.

Interesting. An article I just perused on the subject says that there are suitable deep water harbours in Wales, though. As the does the Falklands if it comes to that.

There is one in Wales, Milford haven, which is already a massive commercial port. To install nukes there would mean buying it out, costing about $10billion before any modifications are made. It also means sending the subs through the lower Irish sea which is essentially a giant Sub trap. Too easy to see what is coming and going (that is the same problem the entire east coast has, the North Sea and Dover Straits make it too easy to spot subs). Faslane has the quickest route to the Atlantic.

The Falklands have the same problem that they had with keeping the subs up at the old base at Scapa. It isn't on the British mainland. SIS refused point blank to endorse something which is not on the UK mainland because it would be too vulnerable. That goes triple for the Malvinas, for obvious reasons.

But what makes you think that the UK's "best ally" as you put it won't be willing to help out with this little problem? Either with funds to retrofit the harbour in Wales or by providing one of their own on loan? After all, they'd hate to "destabilize the region" and lose another nuclear power among their NATO allies.

Even worse, I could see our (Canadian) Conservative government using this dilemma to jump at the chance of getting their own nukes. We already buy the UK's shitty secondhand regular subs for our military, why not shitty secondhand nuclear ones? I'm sure Harper would be pleased as punch to let England rent one of our Atlantic habours, too.

Why couldn't the UK lease the Scottish land and keep its nukes there?

The US had nuke bases in Europe for decades.

Is this not the same anon who's been talking to me? Isn't your whole premise that if Scotland succeeds in getting independence they'll oust the nukes due to citizen demand because no one wants them? That's why they "couldn't".

As a foreigner you should keep your nose out of it.

Well geez, yeah. I just want to know if I should say "congratulations" or "that's rough, buddy" to any Scottish people I happen to meet.

I guess I will be polite and ignore them.

Offer them a deep fried, battered, haggis and mac'n'cheese pie. That should do it.

Yeah, they exist by the way.

DA

Really, if you're looking for something to say, it's probably better to wait for the other person to take the lead - it's not as if all Scots agree on the matter, after all.

The polls have been almost half and half for months. Why do you think there's one line to take on this?

I sure hope you also make sure to have absolutely zero opinions on the doings of other countries, then.

Things that aren't my business or that I can't fully understand both sides of? You're damn right I try not to have any opinions on.

I'm waiting for the Cornish separatist movement to get off the ground!
