Own defence forces, especially the Navy protecting 16,940 miles of the Scottish coast, territorial waters and natural resources of the Scottish part of the North Sea, the reconstruction of formations erstwhile dissolved by the British Government, specified as the Royal Scots, The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, and the Black Watch Regiment, as well as a clear stand on the side of global disarmament and non-proliferation – are the foundations of the safety policy of independent Scotland, proposed by the Social Democratic-National ALBA organization of the erstwhile Prime Minister Alex Salmond. The 2nd National Convention of the Group (represented in the home of Commons of the UK by 2 Members), gathering in Stirling, besides powerfully advocated the country's membership of NATO, announced the liquidation of the British submarine base in Faslane close Glasgow and the removal of atomic weapons from the territory of the liberated state.
According to ALBY, the strengthening of the Organisation for safety and Cooperation in Europe should form the basis of global relations for peace. Applicants as well as participants in the convention discussion stressed that the unanimously approved program is based on the analysis of many hundreds of years of imperialism (especially English/British), as well as the experience of the current war in Ukraine.
Red Jackets
– Before the 2014 independency referendum, I myself supported Scottish membership of NATO. But the Pact from nearly a decade ago is not today's – argued Chris McEleny, Secretary-General ALBA Party. – Being an independent country, but inactive owned by NATO, we could always be active in conflicts in which we have no own interests that we do not support at all. The removal of atomic weapons from Scotland would besides be at least slowed down in specified a situation – emphasized the politician, erstwhile Councillor Inverclyde, himself having already had the worst experience with the British military complex. Working in the DM Beith McEleny military equipment workshop in 2017, by decision of the Ministry of Defence was suspended in responsibilities as a justification for giving its independent views and opposition to TRIDENT. The Scotsman then won the case before the Labour Court, but the British Army/RAF/Royal garrisons The Navy remains abroad bodies in Scottish territory, like “Red Jackets” after the Jacobite uprisings.

Alba Conference 2022 – StirlingConference
The Scottish Independents are trying to halt the spread of abroad troops, recalling the determination shown by anti-war environments that For 40 years they have maintained a steady rotational picket close Faslane Base. The position of ALBA organization (like smaller opposition socialist parties, or even members of the Scottish Greens national government coalition) is increasingly different from the powerfully softened position of the dominant circles of the Scottish National Party. This erstwhile extremist independency formation has for any time clearly become like the British establishment. During a May visit to Washington, Scotland's first minister, Nicola Sturgeon She unexpectedly supported Scotland's membership of NATO, although she upheld the announcement to remove elements of the TRIDENT strategy after independency was restored.

Rector of Dundee University, friend Julian Assange and a fresh political prisoner of the British government who served 4 months in 2021 for revealing an effort to compromise ex-premier Salmond with false sexual charges. Unbreakable imprisonment Murray in a stormy applause speech called for “Give atomic weapons to the imperialists, but destruct them.It’s okay. ” He besides warned: – If any country wants to invade Scotland, it will not be Russia, but our neighbour, who has hundreds of years of tradition of imperialism, aggression and racism!
Independence or NATO
The strategical importance of Scotland places its regaining independency in a geopolitical context, nevertheless the people of the country would like to stay outside globalistic games. Military bases, relations with defence pacts, Scottish safety policy after regaining independency – all of these can be tender elements for global designation by liberated Edinburgh. However, they can besides become restrictive factors that make the acquired sovereignty purely illusory. There is simply a serious, differentiated discussion in Scotland. Teaching especially to Poles, inactive naively reasoning that they can stay independent of NATO, bringing in abroad troops and begging for the location of another people's atomic weapons. The Scottish nationalists and the left have no illusions in this respect, they know it's impossible. independency or NATO.
