If World War 3 Starts Which Is The Safest Country?- By Jeffery Simpson

Let’s be real here. No place in Europe, North America, Asia, Australia, or even Africa would be safe from nuclear war and its aftermath.

I see a couple of people saying Switzerland. I highly disagree. Switzerland would have been an excellent place if it were a traditional war with boots on the ground. The issue with nuclear weapons is that they have a radius of destruction. Tsar Bomba, the largest nuke ever detonated, has a radius of at least 35 miles. And it was detonated back in 1961. Just imagine how powerful they are now, 50 years later. Here’s why each place/continent I mentioned above will not be safe.

* Europe as a whole would be a major hotbed for conflict between Russia and her potential allied states. France, Germany, and the UK would be big targets with Poland, Italy, and maybe Belgium being secondary important targets. Switzerland is right between most of the countries I just mentioned. Safest place would probably be on the Iberian peninsula in Portugal or Spain. But even they might not be completely safe as NATO members.

* Middle East needs no explanation. That’s a mini world war in and of itself.
* North America would most definitely be a target for the Russians and Chinese (assuming they are allied). Perhaps the Americans could intercept missiles from China via territories in the Pacific and deflect Russian missiles via Alaska but nothing is certain. You can bet your life that New York, Washington DC, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and the areas around them would be targeted. They’re all major financial cities close to the coast. Canada would probably be nuked too but would not be as much of a target as the US. Cuba would probably be invaded and with no nuclear weapons to defend itself, it would succumb to US power. Not sure if Mexico will be forced to fight alongside the US but it will definitely be seen as a potential US ally by the opposite side.

* Asia would probably be even more bloody than Europe; China and North Korea allied vs everyone else. South Korea would need urgent help from the US but will probably be the first place in Asia to be nuked to oblivion (by North Korea). Japan would seriously need to go Shōwa-mode again if it wants to defend itself properly.

China would have conflict with most of the South China Sea nations as part of their ongoing territorial dispute; this would include Vietnam (which could draw in Thailand, Burma, and Laos too), Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia. Taiwan would be either invaded or nuked. Maybe China would take over Sri Lanka as a proxy state via that 99-year leased port they’ve got. India would see that as an issue which could escalate into involving Pakistan who is benefitting from China’s belt-and-road programme.

* Australia. It’s a bit of a given. Australia is too close to China for comfort. It would be a thorn in their side. Except for the nearly inhospitable Australian heartland, most urban centres wouldn’t be safe. New Zealand might be safe but being isolated from the rest of the world by hundreds of miles of ocean while everyone is at war will not bode well for the population. Especially for such a globalised country.

* Antarctica. Let’s hope no one is stupid enough even to think about sending a nuke here. The breaking off of ice sheets would be catastrophic for the sea levels.

* Africa. Oh boy, Africa already has dozens of unstable states who routinely receive aid from the rest of the world. What’s going to happen when those donor countries have to reorient their funds to a total war economy? No more money for Africa! And that means many of those delicate internationally propped-up governments will most likely fall and descend into numerous civil wars.

For the attentive person (or if you noticed the answer’s picture), you might have noticed I missed a continent in my explanation.



Yes, South America. Now there are a couple of reasons why South America would be at least partially safe from the event of global nuclear war. One of the biggest reasons that could really work to South America’s benefit is that it is very much politically isolated from the rest of the world. South American countries typically rely more on themselves than the rest of the world. A lot of South American governments are currently aware of this and want to be more connected to the rest of the world. But without that many political ties to the world outside South America, the continent could evade conflict altogether (Venezuela is concerning though).

Externally, South America wouldn’t be seen as a target. South America doesn’t have any serious beef with anyone aside from themselves. To be honest, it’s hard to think of anything worth nuking in South America. Aside from possibly French Guiana’s Guiana Space Centre. And that’s very, very unlikely.

Its not surviving the war but its aftermath that will be the real hell.

Other than radiation fallout that will envelope the entire planet in a thermonuclear exchange, it is the collapse of civilization and govts worldwide that you have to worry about.

A third world war will be quick because it will go nuclear quickly and end as fast as it begins.

Until you end up in a cooking pot.

Oceanic countries are the least independent because they depend on international trade for virtually everything including food.

A world war will see a total end of civilization and international trade.

Oceania will be isolated and starving like every other place on earth.

Africa will be the most dangerous place in a global nuclear exchange.


Imagine not having the restraining super powers and how every ethnic nationality will go on a genocidal killing spree of others.

Hunger and famine will be severe because you won't have food imports from Europe and America .

Farming will not be possible owing to radiation fallout that will destroy crops and a blanket of debris in suspension that will see a drastic fall in sunshine and solar radiation (Nuclear Winter).

Africa will be one of the most dangerous places to be.

That's were all the Davos idiots have built their underground bunkers .

Bill Gates has bought huge tracks of land in New Zealand.

Naturally, NZ would have been the safest but since that is where most of Russia's most hated enemies will be scrambling to hide , NZ is probably on the "Must Hit" list on Russian targets.

For all we know a Russian Tsunami nuclear torpedo is already parked in the surrounding coasts.

Any place on earth with the least human population will be safest place in surviving the nuclear winter that will last for decades .

The Globalists will get to reduce both human population and end global warming with a nuclear strike while they wait it out in their luxurious underground bunkers in New Zealand.

I wonder how the likes of Bill Gates thinks he can exist or survive in a Mad Max scenario. Let them continue prodding Russia. Fools.

Those nukes exist for a reason.

Nukes have been the major deterrent to another global war.

But the senseless suicidal provocation on nuclear armed Russia by the Biden WH is making that deference void and null.

A tactical nuclear strike will be deployed by the psychotic US deep state on Russian forces in Ukraine and from there Russia will respond heavily with Strategic Nuclear strikes on US and EU territory.

It will happen in your life time because the Globalist want you dead .

Why do you think they are scrambling to build underground luxury bunkers in New Zealand? Nobody likes to live in a hole underground most especially the super rich.

Those bunkers in New Zealand which the likes of Rothschilds, Gates and Soros own should tell you they are planning for a future nuclear winter.

The same way he defended the 9 million jews killed by Hitler during WW2 abi?

Or you, a descendant of black pagans whose great grand parents were just one level above animals when Israel was allegedly chosen by your acclaimed God.

Just because your pastor calls his enterprise ‘Chosen’ does not mean anything in these scheme of things.

If the war should start, i can bet you that your pastor would be on the next flight to a safer country from where he would be streaming “protection service” to you, the gullible ones.

Stop trying to fool others with the delusions of grandeur from a fable.

Allow logical people speak here.

I actually think Africa would be safe to be in.

Whilst the halt in foreign trade would cancel largesse living here, our individualist nature of self sufficiency would assist.

Almost each household in Lagos for example has their own independent bore hole as a water supply which is radiation free. Doesn’t exist anywhere else.

Yes, there would be hunger from real food but what stops cannibalism in a free for all? There would be abundance of dead people for months.

As regards ethnic fighting, this would be more focused on resource control than on your historical lineage. Residents in Lagos would for example fight to protect lagos than to protect a Yoruba lineage. Why should lagosians feed people from Ondo, despite being both Yorubas?

True, there would be suspicions based on tribal affiliations and there would be a lot of summary executions, which provides more food.

In the long run, protected communities would be formed as per resource control.

Our main issue would be on the aftermath. When the dust has literally settled, destroyed world powers who still have military might would want to resettle their citizens in the safer parts of the world- the areas not directly hit by bombs and Africa would be a target.

They have colonised us before. There is nothing stopping them from trying again, especially if their survival depends on it.

This is when the real African kasala would burst. Don’t forget all survivors at that time would be cannibalistic, selfish brutes with no empathy.
