On various forums, services and publics they discuss whether there is a safe place and which countries/continents will suffer less than others in the event of a Third World War.
According to ChatGPT's analysis of the GPT-4o model, the probability of a full-scale World War III remains “moderately low,” but the risks are growing. Its answer is based solely on its own conclusions about the world situation, without relying on the opinions of others.
According to the AI, it is difficult to say when World War III will start. It can still be avoided, but the risk is growing. “Not because of one conflict, but because of their simultaneous multitude, tired diplomacy and instability within the states themselves. It is like playing with a powder keg, where each region is a spark. So far the keg has not exploded. But there is more and more fire around,” the neural network answered.
Against the backdrop of such reports, more and more people are beginning to think about where they can live safely.
Countries Where You Can Escape World War III
Before looking for the safest places, it is important to determine which countries are most likely to see military action. It is impossible to say who exactly will start World War III, but the sides are fairly easy to predict, as they will likely fit the current geopolitical climate.
Antarctica
During a possible Third World War, there will be no safer place on the planet than Antarctica.
Fiji
Fiji is an island nation located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The island's closest neighbor is Australia, which is more than 4,345 kilometers away. That's why you can safely wait out the danger here.
Iceland
Iceland is the leader of the Global Peace Index, and the country is located a thousand kilometers from the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe. That is why the country is unlikely to be in direct danger during World War III.
Iceland also has plenty of land to settle on if you need a place to wait out a war. In fact, the country's current population averages three people per square kilometer.
Argentina
This American country will be the best place to survive a famine after a nuclear war.
New Zealand
New Zealand is a secluded but developed country that is not involved in any armed conflicts in the world, and its mountainous terrain will help protect the country from any wars.
Its foreign policy has earned it second place in the Global Peace Index.
Ireland
Ireland maintains a completely independent foreign policy and abstains from NATO membership. Its military neutrality and requirement for government approval and UN permission to participate in foreign conflicts make Ireland a neutral entity.
Switzerland
The country is reliably protected due to its geographical location and landscape. After all, the mountainous terrain will protect against invasion, and the bridges connecting the country with other regions can simply be blown up.
South America
The southern part of America, for example, Chile or Argentina, are sufficiently isolated from the outside world, and therefore these regions would not be considered as a target in the event of a global war. In addition, South America has no external conflicts, and therefore is unlikely to enter into battle for someone's interests.
Indonesia
The country also has a fairly well-developed infrastructure and agriculture, which will provide access to food, even in the conditions of World War III. Therefore, buying housing here in case of World War III is not only preparing an island of safety for yourself, but also a good investment.
Recall that at the end of 2024, Russia carried out exercises to launch a massive nuclear strike against the West, during which ballistic and cruise missiles were deployed from land and sea.
Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly threatened to use nuclear weapons.
Meanwhile, Western science fiction writers are drawing up scenarios for World War III one after another. Analyst Anatoly Amelin studied this market and found that Ukraine does not play a key role in 16 plots of the apocalyptic future.
And investigative journalist Annie Jacobsen explains why people seeking to escape the horrors of World War III should consider fleeing to Australia or New Zealand.
