Azeem Ibrahim, a director at the Washington-based Centre for Global Policy, said the UK remained a vital part of the US defence structure and warned the collapse of the Union would have a serious impact across the Atlantic.

Comment
Scotlandâs foreign affairs, defence and security agenda needs to be more readily available to the public before any referendum AS a journalist who writes primarily about international affairs, I spend a lot of time perusing stories on global issues.
