NICOLA has fallen! NATO joins hands with Boris to bombard Scotland, related to Trident nuclear facility.
The SNP was warned by NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg of a plot to eliminate Trident, who once described Britain's nuclear deterrent as "critical" to the alliance.
The Scottish National Party (SNP) has long opposed Trident, arguing that nuclear weapons are "immoral, ineffective and expensive". This week it was reported that the British Government had hatched a secret plan to move its Trident nuclear submarine bases from Scotland to the US or France in the event of Scottish independence.
This means that the Trident could be located at existing Royal Navy bases off the west coast of Scotland, which would remain British territory inside Scotland.
Contingency plans have been forwarded by several senior Whitehall officials to the Financial Times.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson is firmly against plans for Scotland to separate from the rest of Britain.
After Nicola Sturgeon led the SNP to victory in this year's Scottish Parliament election, Mr Johnson said there was no independence in Scotland at any cost.
Scotland's independence is not only in the UK's interest, it is in NATO's as well. A warning is revealed.
Appearing on "The Andrew Marr Show" NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg described the importance of Trident to the 30-member military bloc, which he calls the "nuclear alliance".
“The UK is a highly regarded member of NATO for many reasons,” he said.
“You spend more than 2% on defence, you provide a lot of high-end, valuable ability and you have shown once again that you are ready to deploy when needed.
The UK's nuclear weapons are an important part of NATO, and NATO will not spare Scotland if they interfere with this.
“NATO's goal is a world without nuclear weapons but we must get there through viable, balanced nuclear disarmament and control.
“The world would not be safer if NATO got rid of all its nuclear weapons while countries like Russia, China, North Korea and others kept their nuclear weapons.
"So yes, we would like to see a world without nuclear weapons but as long as there are nuclear weapons, NATO will remain a nuclear alliance."
In response to reports of the Government's independence contingency plan, the SNP has reaffirmed that Trident will not be allowed to remain in independent Scotland.
The party's defense spokesman Stewart McDonald also completely rejected "nuclear Gibraltar".
He pledged that the release of nuclear weapons from naval bases would "take place quickly" in the case of independence.
Mr Stoltenberg has also previously warned those fighting for an independent Scotland that such an outcome would mean the country would leave the union.
“All decisions in NATO are made by consensus, so we need the consensus of all allies.
"By leaving the UK, it will also be leaving NATO.
Ms. Turgeon is under a great deal of pressure from the bombardment of the head of NATO. The nucleus is a vital part of the bloc, so if there are consequences, Scotland will be the first to suffer.
