Why I Support Scottish Independence-ANY Devolution Better Than Globalist Status Quo

An interesting take on the Scottish independence issue. On the one hand it's certain independence won't work out the way the socialists of the Scottish National Party (SNP) envision. But on the other hand if George Soros is opposed to Scottish independence it probably isn't such a bad idea after all.

No war, at least on paper: Islamic State mission joins list of undeclared US wars
http://www.stripes.com/news/
oins-list-of-undeclared-us-
One thing we have definitely learned during the past six years is that the War Powers Resolution of 1973 was only intended to restrain Republican Presidents. Also what the article doesn't mention is that nuclear weapons
changed America's perception about what it meant to declare war. Declaring war post 1945 seemed to imply to many that nuclear weapons might be used against the enemy. Especially in light of the Eisenhower administration's stated policy of "massive retaliation" in the event of an attack against the USA or its NATO allies by the Soviet Union. Many of America's leaders, including President Eisenhower, felt inexplicable guilt about using atomic bombs to end the war against Japan. Consequently America's leaders, both Conservative and Liberal, became reluctant to declare war in situations where the survival of the country was not perceived to be at stake. NOT making a formal declaration of war seems to imply that the use of nuclear weapons will not be considered. Regardless of American sentiments on the matter, in reality it has become apparent to the rest of the world that America will probably never use nuclear weapons unless either nukes are used on it first or unless it faces conquest by an invading army. Even then there is room for doubt since so many of America's ruling elite rules constantly call for the abolition of nuclear weapons. That makes aggressive nation feel
more free to test America's resolve when it comes to protecting its' political and economic interests abroad.

Canada's Arctic Rangers Get New Rifles
http://kitup.military.com/
FYI: Canada has become very concerned about maintaining its "sovereignty" (i.e. control) in its arctic territory in recent years. In particular it has become concerned that other countries might become bold enough to pouch resources in Canadian territory, whether those resources be oil, minerals or wildlife. In the last 20 years the Russians and Chinese have done a lot of arctic "exploring". Further the Canadians became concerned about Greenlanders crossing the border in search of fish and game. Thus the Canada stepped up its "presence" patrols in the arctic, consisting of Arctic Rangers, RCMP constables and member of the Canadian Armed Forces.

Up to a Point: A Free Scotland Would Be a Hilarious Disaster

As usual P.J. O'Rourke's take on the situation is a hoot. Like all good humor this is a large element of truth in what P.J. writes about the Scottish situation. It's hard to see how an independent Scotland will work out well as the Scots are inveterate socialists who spend much more than they produce. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-

How will this work? Most of the five million people living in Scotland are on some sort of government assistance, which is paid for by taxes levied on much larger and more prosperous English population. If the Scots become independent they will have to learn how to work for a living again.

Today, Sen.
