I'm one of the lucky ones! Because of my service to our great country fighting against those dirty communists, when the bombs fall my family and I will be safe and sound, underground, in one of the local vaults in our area: Vault 108!

Somewhere I won't be bothered, like Tristan da Cunha or the Pitcairn Islands
Somewhere in South America. Always wanted to go the Falklands. In reality I don't have the money for that. So I'm here on this hell ride to the bitter end.
If the world goes to shit and the UK is fighting with Russia, would Milei try to grab the Falklands?
East Africa. I just like the idea.
I think we should go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.

We will know the best place after whatever event happens. Itβs always hard to predict these things with so many variables.
Most of the violence and oppression gets exported, so it's probably best to just sit tight here in the heart of the empire.
If I were to stay in the U.S., I'd probably go to Hawaii, probably Maui or Lanai.
Hawai'i will be a main base of operations for strategic command and targeted as a result. The islands are crawling with the US military and then there is the naval installation at Pearl Harbor. If I had to go with an island in the chain though, I would choose Moloka'i. That is if the locals would have me. They are more self sustaining there.

Argentina probably. Generally the southern hemisphere is pretty safe. Nobody's wasting nukes on brown people, except maybe Israel.
Wouldn't bet on argentina. They've got their own dickhead in chief who's also waging war against progress.
Yeah, it may not be the best choice, but not the worst either. They're not much of a threat to the big powers, and if they just stay out of it they'll probably come through fine.

Bold to presume that we would want to survive it.
Fwiw Musk says that he wants to leave Earth and go to Mars, which is great news for the rest of us:-).
To be fair, in Musk's fantasy Mars is the easier planet to live on.

Uruguay, New Zealand, or SE Asia
I had Uruguay and New Zealand on my list.
If you go to New Zealand, you'll have to deal with the shithead billionaires there who will have moved there a few days ahead of you, (since they'll get extra warning of course), who will have moved already into the fortress-bunkers they've been making for a decade or so there.

It should be a life mission of anyone in New Zealand, when the time comes, to find out where their air systems reach the surface and throw a few grenades down the ducts. For the good of humanity (whatever's left).
I think the billionaires probably have given it a bit of forethought. On the positive side they're an English speaking nation, and my Spanish is mid at best.

Depends, are we riding out the rise of fascism or riding out WWIII? Those are two highly different scenarios.
Either way, a Pacific island sounds nice.
Not with rising sea levels
Okay, Newfoundland.
Fair. A boat anchored at a Pacific Island, while they exist.
Maybe I'll dock at the Pacific garbage patch and distill my fuel from microplastics.
I think I am stuck in Texas

My crazy mom says she's looking to move to Uruguay because when the nukes start falling they will most likely not have a ton of fallout to deal with.
I'm gonna run toward the light in that kind of scenario, personally. Nature will rebuild. In a WWIII scenario, the winner is evolution. Life will, uh, find its way.
It's five and I'm driving home again
It's hard to believe that it's my last time
The man on the wireless cries again
"It's over, it's over"
It's late and I'm with my love alone
We drink to forget the coming storm
We love to the sound of our favorite song
Over and over
Dancing, with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing, with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
When the world ends, collect your things, you're coming with me...
