if it happened in north america or the EU they'd quarantine the areas and the people inside would be super pissed but likely understanding mostly.

maybe in Europe because they're used to their governments telling them what to do.

Bullshit.

In Europe we have functional health systems and governments that understand that violent force is not the appropriate response to disease.

But frankly, you're also ignoring what's been actually happening: such an ambassador catching Ebola in one country, knowingly returning to another (via air travel), then staying in a hotel without telling anyone being treated in secret by a doctor, who also doesn't tell anyone, goes home, and spreads it to his wife.

Queue a couple 1000 potentially infected, by a vector which would be utterly missed due to plain old corruption and idiocy.

But that's exactly what as already happended and lead to 21 cases and 7 deaths, not a world wide pandemic.

The UK has no "ground-based nuclear deterrent". The only nukes the UK fields are Trident.

Assuming Scotland (stays in, joins)(*) NATO then it will be protected by the US, French and rUK nuclear deterrents, just like all other NATO countries.

((*) delete as appropriate - It depends if Scotland is considered as a succesor state to the UK or not).
