    Inspired by my other thread, since we are a sucky race, war will most likely happen again, don't you think?
    So anywhere in the world, which countries do you think will be safe, or neutral? Will you go there, or are you staying? What if you get conscripted, you fight someone else's war or desert?
    Assuming no nukepocalypse.

    Imo, water will be a problem in the future, so choosing a location with good water sources can be good. But it can also be bad because freedom might descend, uh.

    Switzerland is probably the safest.

    Chile. Africa might be safe from WW3 but half of it is a breath away from civil war or already has one.

    Don't know about safe "country" but I would imagine somewhere far enough north or south with lots of ice and snow and very very cold might be safest "place" to be, if you're already there and have the skills and everything else you need to live there when things go to shit that is..

    The Pacific island countries. I would've said new zealand but you said 'race war' so no go there. I don't think we'll have a race war , lol. Since probably WWIII would happen because of national interest. Us outside 'white' countries are usually almost homogeneous.

    He meant "sucky race" not "race war".
    P.s. I also think that some faraway island with its own food sources would be the best.

    If the war won't go ballistic/nuclear, the safest place to be would be the mainland of the winning side. Barring that, the mainland of the losing side. Barring even that, northern europe.

    The developing world would be 'safe', but the war will be fought in proxy on someone else's soil, so any one of them could become a wasted battlefield. Avoid being in any country on the border between two spheres of influence (AKA, Don't be France in an west vs east european war, Mongolia in a China vs Russian war, or Nepal in a China vs India war). Any place without a major military would be ripe for plunder by one side or the other if the conflict becomes protracted, and any place with one would likely either be dragged into the conflict or become a target. (I,E. Oil producing countries like those in South America).

    Avoid any country with a history of internal strife, frequently unstable governments or having heated political/pseudo-militant arguments with their neighbors. (I.E, Isreal/Palestine/Egypt, Venezuela, Iran/Iraq/Pakistan, N/S Korea, Vietnam, China/Japan, China/Korea/Thailand/Malaysa etc). Once the big guys get too distracted by their own fight to play Police for the rest of the world, a lot of old grudges will be called upon for redress, a lot of opportunistic power plays will be made, a lot of political revenge will be taken. The rest of the world may not burn but it will smolder, and the little people will suffer.

    The safest place would probably be a country that is hardly more developed than they were hundreds of years ago and still maintain a good amount of their traditional lifestyle. Kyrgyzstan, Nepal, Bhutan, Southern Mexico, Tajikistan, place you never hear about in the news that will make you go "lol, who?" when you hear the name. If no one cares enough to report about you, odds are you don't matter and will be safer for it when SHTF. I'd probably go with northern europe, though. Finland, sweden, switzerland or norway.

    In any event, if it doesn't just devolve into a constant barrage of missiles flying back and forth between two or more countries' mainlands, then you just need to hold on until one side either goes broke or loses their stomach for the fight. It probably won't devolve into a war of complete conquest/surrender/slaughter with millions of troops pouring into one country or another, it will be a mad grab for resources to starve the other's war machine before they surrender and are forced to agree to terms that keep them alive, but poorer for it.

    There was no punctuation before I made the comment. At least thats how I remember it. I'm an English major, so... no punctuations throw me off guard.
