I came across this article because MSN.com has reproduced it and it pops up on the Bing start page, which tells you something about MSN/Bing.
Yeah, i not “fleeing” anywhere. I might start hunting more. (Wink,wink)
Too funny. Maybe it was written when South Africa was CIVILIZED (meaning over 30 years ago), but no way is that a safe country, even in peacetime.
I was thinking Mauritius would be enough out of the way, and not worth bothering with for a while.
Of course, the U.S. is a big place, and so is Canada. If you can get fuel being able to move to remote locations (not near NORAD) might be a good strategy. Or, you live your life, help when you can, how you can, knowing that your number can come up.
Ireland is no longer Irish. It is European.
“As the specter of another World War looms large...”
Oh good grief....apparently this ww3 insanity is spreading.
Marjorie Taylor Greene said the same thing in an unhinged rate about President Trump.
“Only 6 months in and we are back into foreign wars, regime change, and world war 3,” she said.”
And I thought Argentia was where you fled after the war.
Despite the huge migratory pressures of recent years, fleeing is really not an option for most of the world’s population. Flight is as likely to land the individual in a MORE precarious position than simply remaining in place and taking your chances by preparation. For one thing, the channels appropriate for migration may clog up pretty rapidly, and the sheer crush makes flight impossible. Further, there may not be any resources left once arriving at the proposed refuge. If you stay home, you are for sure going to have to fend off those who are predatory by nature, or failed to make their own preparations.
There are no good choices, only some that are a little less bad than others. Lotteries may be attractive to many, but the circle of winners remains very small. And sometimes the lottery rolls over several times before there is a payout.
MSN caters to the ignorant left by distributing their propaganda. It’s what they do.
Oh. Fiji looks nice.
No Australia? It’s probably more livable than Antarctica or Greenland.
“...which tells you something about MSN/Bing.”
It tells more than that. If the actual conflict starts and goes nuclear, they will not be throwing rocks at each other. The sides will throw enough ICBM’s with multi warheads to make it an earth changing event. And there will be no safe country from the aftermath. But they think they can go down fighting and do it with the same old gloom and doom they’ve been spewing for years. They may not see the fireball, but they will feel the heat of it down the road.

The Swiss are prepared and it is an armed nation of highly intelligent and orderly people, with great geography, I wonder if the rich buying in New Zealand, or Greenland, etc. realize how vulnerable those little weak nations are in the ability to protect their nation from outside forces seeing New Zealand as a nice place to take over, or from organized interior dark forces, do they have the institutional depth and martial will in their population to maintain order against all challenges, the Swiss do, and in a less perfect way, Americans do, core America likes order and fighting is still in its blood.
A small weak place might be more delicate than say, America, and more open to total chaos and total lack of authority, New Zealand may actually be more likely to end up a Road Warrior nation than Texas and the U.S., especially over time.
I’m not so sure I would prefer to face a new post apocalyptic world in South Africa or Latin America, or new Zealand, than in America.
If I were going to live in Fiji, I’d get a sheep and a cow and raise horses like Dave Lister was going to do after getting back to Earth.
Once a nuclear war starts you won’t have time to get to your destination
Well put.
ANTARCTICA - other than it being cold as hell and you needing a constant lifeline of support for everything from somewhere else for your survival.....
ICELAND - peaceful civilized country far from everywhere else that is unlikely to get nuked but....what are you going to eat? Iceland can't feed itself.
NEW ZEALAND - this is actually a good choice. Civilized western country far from everywhere else, unlikely to get nuked and they can actually feed themselves
SWITZERLAND - a civilized western country unlikely to get nuked but they have started to let too many muslims in and Switzerland can't feed itself.
GREENLAND - relatively civilized country far from everywhere else and unlikely to get nuked but very small population, bleak, cold as hell, would struggle mightily to feed itself and stay warm in winter without outside support.
INDONESIA - Indonesia has the 4th largest population on earth, has a muslim majority though they don't seem to be quite as extreme as others and is unlikely to get nuked. They might even still produce enough oil to meet their own needs but they can't feed themselves.
TUVALU - formerly part of the British empire it is relatively civilized, far from everywhere else and unlikely to get nuked but they can't feed themselves.
ARGENTINA - this and New Zealand are probably the best choices. It is a civilized country, does not have a lot of violence or instability and is a major food exporter. Nobody is going to nuke them. They'd need some oil imports but they have food to trade so they'll be fine.
BHUTAN - teeny tiny little country that can't feed itself. Yes they won't get nuked, they'll just starve.
CHILE - another excellent choice. This is a civilized country not likely to get nuked that is a food exporter. They also have some mineral resources such as an abundance of copper and lithium.
FIJI - civilized, unlikely to get nuked. Gorgeous place that can't feed itself. So you can starve to death in a beautiful location.
SOUTH AFRICA - only if you have a death wish. Without outside pressure, they'd slaughter their White population - or at least the White Farmers. Once they do that, like Zimbabwe, what was a food exporter would rapidly become a country that can't feed itself. That is if you weren't murdered for being White or just for being there first. Completely laughable anybody would even suggest this.
I have mansion sized yurts in New Zealand and Greenland. So when the SHTF I have two options. Greenland looks better with very friendly Eskimos and lots of excellent hunting. Whale meat yum!
Clearly a lot of people do not realize how much of the world is fed by a few massive breadbaskets like America, Ukraine, Russia, to a lesser extent Canada, Australia, Argentina, etc. Lots and LOTS of countries would experience mass starvation and death if world trade broke down. That covers just about the entire middle east, most islands with their current population, China, South Korea, Japan, Indonesia, Nigeria, Egypt, etc. The latter cannot feed themselves.
