Re: Scottish anons!

Scotland is America's biggest ally?

Re: Scottish anons!

[(Anonymous)]

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.

Re: Scottish anons!

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.

Re: Scottish anons!

[ariakas]

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".
