Foreign policy expert Azeem Ibrahim told Express.co.uk Scottish independence would put the UK in a "very bizarre, dangerous situation".
Scottish independence would "dramatically compromise" UK national security, a foreign policy expert has claimed, arguing Vladimir Putin could attempt to assert control over Scotland.
Azeem Ibrahim explained: "In the current economic environment, an independent Scotland is going to get an economic shock - interest rates would have to go up, there is a massive deficit they would have to fill."

Prof Azeem Ibrahim OBE Outside academia, Azeem has been a reservist in the IV Battalion Parachute Regiment (UK's elite airborne infantry reserve) and a multi-award winning entrepreneur.
He was ranked as a Top 100 Global Thinker by the European Social Think Tank in 2010 and named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum.

Dr Ibrahim is also an award winning entrepreneur and his many years of experience in business and policy led him to consider the situation of his own home country. He knew that innovative policy solutions were required if Scotland was to remain globally competitive, and he responded to this need by setting up The Scotland Institute think tank.

Thanks for the laugh. No seriously, thanks for the laugh. The metrics for success that are described above are truly hilarious. PhD, Parachutist, International Scholar, Entrepreneur etc. Whar a great guy. I was wishing I was as special as him, that is, until I checked out the link above. The 1st paragraph says this about him: "Born in Glasgow, Dr Ibrahim was named one of the Top Global Thinkers by the LSDP European Social Think Tank and a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum". Dr Ibrahim, born in Scotland should know this adjective very well that best describes him......... https://scottish-business.uk/about-us/dr-azeem-ibrahim-2/

From Dr Ibrahim Azeems own media kit, he clearly has a high opinion of himself. This guy ticks every box known to mankind. Evidently modest too, he forgot to mention his OBE.
He also has providence with NYT, Washington Post, Huffington Post and many, many other (ahem) publications.
After a a short look around the internet I couldn't believe the pedigree of this guy. His accolades and achievements are utterly astonishing. That said, if its too good to be true, then guess what???
Given his immense achievements and abilities, my favourite award he has been bestowed is a 2010 award.
Received Jinnah Award at UK Foreign Office Feb 2011.

It is far more likely that the USA would seek to 'assert' itself on Scotland. You know, all those Scots that ended up shipped across the ocean during the Highland Clearances etc. If the UK refused to continue to be the boiler room for all US money laundering scams, I'm sure Edinburgh would jump at the chance. I'm sure they'd stick an ionospheric heater somewhere up near the North Coast. I'm sure they'd give huge tax breaks to NSA/other Alphabet computer hackers surveilling the English from abroad.
ReplyDeleteWhat is so unique about Putin wanting to interfere. Anywhere with rich oligarchs wanting to buy a big Scottish Estate would love to interfere, I'm sure...
