Whether we like to admit it or not, the world has never seemed closer to a new World War than it is today. We have the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the conflict in the Middle-East and ever increasing tensions between the United States and China. It may feel like the world is close to ending and nowhere is truly safe, but fortunately there are some safe havens left on this planet where you could run when some megalomaniac decides to drop the first bomb. Let’s take a look at some.
Switzerland
Switzerland may not have the best location safety-wise, but they do value their neutrality and they have a lot of money. Not to mention the Swiss are cynics at heart who have a lot of nuclear bunkers, despite having mountains that would physically protect them from nuclear fallout.
Greenland
If you don’t mind the cold, Greenland could be a solid spot to wait out the war. It’s a huge plot of land with more than enough room for everyone trying to flee Europe, with a lot of mountains to protect you from whatever you’d need protection from. Despite being a part of Denmark, Greenland has also taken huge steps to maintain their apolitical status in the world. Did I mention it was cold already?
Chile
The sheer geography of Chile is a huge advantage in the scenario of a nuclear war. Not only do you have the Andes protecting you from the west, there’s also a huge supply of fresh air coming from the Antarctic and the fact that it’s in the southern hemisphere – which is less polluted to begin with.
