Safest country to be in if war breaks out as Russia issues frightening 'WW3' threat

Better get those plane tickets booked

​​It seems barely a week goes by without us having a new reason to be worried someone is going to push their big, red, button.

We don't need so-called mystics like Nostradamus and Baba Vanga to predict the end of days with World War III these days.

There's a reason the Doomsday Clock has moved closer to midnight than ever before, and with the Russia-Ukraine war still bubbling away, it's one of the many things keeping us up at night.

Russia has delivered its own 'threat' of WWIII, thanks to the Deputy Chair of the Security Council of the Federation of Russia slamming two of the USA's biggest allies as' dumb'.

As President Donald Trump still tries to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine following his fiery altercation with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky, Dimitry Medvedev took to X to slam French President Emmanuel Macron and UK President Sir Kier Starmer. The pair have called for a 'coalition of the willing' that could see NATO deploy 10,000 troops alongside a fleet of 'minehunter' ships to Ukraine. A vexed Medvedev wrote: "Macron and Starmer are playing dumb. Time and again they are told that peacekeepers must be from non-NATO states.

“No, we will send tens of thousands – just lay it out – you want to give military aid to the neo-Nazis in Kiev. That means war with NATO. Consult with Trump, scumbags."


Russia's President Vladimir Putin warned that if NATO sends troops into Ukraine, he will pull from his own massive nuclear arsenal and has sparked obvious worries that WWIII is just around the corner.

This has led to a spike in interest of people wanting to know where we should run to if the bombs start to drop.

Up first on the list, we hope you've packed your thermals because the extreme isolation of Antarctica makes it a popular choice. Unfortunately, the same remote conditions that make it a viable option also mean it lacks the infrastructure of some of the other places on the list.

Up next, New Zealand is another popular choice. Once known for having more sheep than people, its own remote credentials mean it'll hopefully be far enough away from any nuclear epicenter and is unlikely to be hit itself.

Apparently, OpenAI's Sam Altman has an agreement with PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel to head to New Zealand if things start going wrong.

A more unexpected option is South Africa, with its multiple sources of food, fertile land, and fresh water being paired with a modern infrastructure as a potential place to see out the apocalypse.

Iceland's renewable energy sources, Chile having the longest coastline in the world, and Fiji being made up of a chain of just over 100 inhabited islands all see them make the list.

We hopefully won't be struck by the horrors of World War III anytime soon, but if Putin or any of the other world leaders decide to start throwing their nukes around, at least you've got plenty of potential destinations to watch the world implode from.
