Guam would be wiped out with multiple warheads.
Iceland, New Zealand super volcanoes
Cape Town people will go cannibal when food sources run out.
And in Antarctica, what else will you eat after your last penguin?

new zealand, then like now, will not let anyone in unless they have a million dollars or a needed skill.

Kansas City is in the middle of the prairie, there is no way to defend that city from anything. I think your reasoning is ludicrous. I would think you would select a place closer to the Rocky Mts. I notice you were smart enough to not selected anywhere near Washington DC or NYC.

Patrick Carl on Sun, 16th Oct 2016 4:00 am 



Federated States of Micronesia and the Republic of Palau, in my opinion, would be better places than Guam should a nuclear war broke out.

Wonder if the Hillary fan club here is that much larger than {ghung, friday and boat}.

This forum is frequented mostly by 50-70 year old white guys, more than average intelligent, mostly college educated, more than average earning (in the past) and many green-left leaning with a cosmopolitan-internationalist outlook. But even here the enthusiasm for the sea hag globalist seems to be limited to the western outskirts of the IQ Bell curve dwellers, aka the ghung of three.

@apneagirl: why don’t you go suck Chinese c***, shouldn’t be difficult to find one in your area.

Voting for Trump might make a huge difference in relocation costs c.q. reconstruction costs of your destroyed house and saving on funeral costs. Voting for Trump is a no-brainer really. Even for women and African Americans, despite what ghung claims:

I have property near the New Madrid Fault, which is really the only worry. A little action every once in a while but relatively quiet overall. Right in the Midwest breadbasket with great land and water, hunting access. And it’s on a sloping hillside, so I’m considering building a house in the side of the hill itself w/ solar and independent underground cistern storage. Sparsely populated, and miles from any major city in the event of city targeted strikes.

My neighborhood, Man, All people want is Medical Marijuana and Food Stamps .. I think Fighting Hunger is most often the big issue in the Third world Countries and the Third world war … Food Stamps .. That will stop that Third World War problem .. More Food Stamps .. It was like the Cold War, and How it was defeated, someone came up with a Cold Remedy ..

Don’t kid yourself.

Ah, so that is the true meaning of the term “fallout”. It will just fall out of the sky and conform with political boarders on maps.

Silly me, I thought that it would circulate around the globe and drop temperatures dramatically. I must have been M.A.D

There is NO place on earth where ANYBODY will survive a thermonuclear war ! As few as 300 hydrogen bomb detonation creates a dust cloud that makes farming impossible for a longer period of time than it takes for all life on the planet to starve to death ! Now toss in the fact that between the US and Russia there are about 10 thousand hydrogen bombs and add the fact that ALL nations with nukes will be sending their as well and you may as well bend down and kiss it bye right now !

TheSouthernNationalist on Sun, 16th Oct 2016 5:24 am 



If there is enough radiation to take out the world then nowhere is safe, that stuff will make its way into the food and water supply at some point in time.

Davy on Sun, 16th Oct 2016 5:26 am 



This article is about war but not about survival in a decaying global world. This is at least important if not more. We are not in a war yet and may not. If you are a leader facing MAD you are going to think twice before you escalate beyond a point. Escalation of global skirmishes to full scale war may not escalate to NUK MAD. It is likely this skirmish escalation will be quick with immediate losses. These losses will change the playing field. It is uncertain how nations will react once the initial escalation is over.

One fact will be certain there will be food and fuel shortages. Global finance and economic trade will be disrupted. Many of you do not understand the systematic nature of this type of disruption. Trade and exchange will stop or stop enough to cause grave problems for all nations. All leadership will be facing populations hollowing in pain and anger with little enthusiasm for war making. If you are hungry and cold are you going to be enthusiastic for a war you don’t believe in anyway? What I have just said then is major war that is a near MAD war because it is so quick and deadly and this leads to quick de-escalation. This will be an event that will be status quo changing and likely ending but it is not earth ending like NUK induced mutually assured destruction.

The other issue this article and many of you are dwelling on is an event and not the process. We like events because we watch too much poison from Hollywood. A process is boring. I equate a collapse process to marines in Vietnam spending long periods in boredom and discomfort interjected with brief moments of terror and excitement. In effect we will be in a war of survival. A process of collapse means those areas that are not sustainable per location because of population levels and geographic support will be most vulnerable. Much of Asia has way too many people and way too many people in the wrong places for support. Most western urban areas are overpopulated and dependent on complex arrangements to support those people. Most people in the west have been dumbed down to growing food. Instead we go to the grocery store. If the trucks stop or slow we have food insecurity and hunger. We have areas with populations dependent on cheap energy to heat and cool. These areas may have water resources supporting them from energy intensive delivery.

Everyone is in danger of something in a global world in decline and decay. This global world has delocalized us all. It has exposed us to the potential for dangerous migrations of people that will be displaced and hungry. You may have food and supplies but not enough to share. This will be a time where tough decisions will need to be made by peoples who have decisions now that are little more than what to buy or where do I spend my next vacation. How are these people going to make the kind of wise choices needed in collapse when they have never faced adversity?

We can talk about the NUK war scenario which is the worst of all worlds because devastation and the end of the status quo will combine likely in an extinction event maybe not immediately as in the first year or two but I imagine within a generation most of what is left of humanity will have been reduced to roaming tribes of deplorables without much culture or abilities. We can better talk about the slow collapse of the status quo where we adapt and mitigate a die off process that is an economic decline and a population rebalance. This will be a terrible time but still livable.

Hopefully the terrible will come in small doses. Dying is not nice. It is something we need to start facing. We have it now but it is clinical in most cases. Death is going to become an “in your face” type experience. Young and old alike will be dying. Large amounts of people in certain locations will die. You can’t tell me Asia and places like Nigeria or Egypt will not have great die off periods with far too many people in such small areas. Affluence is going to be gone and with it mass travel and consumerism. This may unfold over a few decades. This may be the case of a decline into a collapse event into a decline. We do not have to have the huge NUK war event but we are likely going to have the collapse process. A collapse process that is a slow die off with a corresponding economic displacement of the status quo. This is may happen short or over the longer term but it won’t happen smoothly. Some areas may see stability much like the Byzantine Empire in the fall of Rome. Other places will be the leading edge of collapse. Can we go through such trauma without war? Maybe, I say this because the leadership may be too busy scrambling to prevent collapse in their backyard to worry about the pillaging the near abroad.

No one would survive an all out nuclear exchange between the super powers. You might survive the exchange of nuclear warheads, but eventually all of the radioactivity will eradicate all life except for bacteria and perhaps some insects. Anyone thinking that they will survive need to read “On the Beach” or watch the movie.

Lime Flavor on Sun, 16th Oct 2016 6:24 am 



It depends on how you want to die. Do you want to die all at once in a blast, or do you want to starve to death over a couple of months? If you somehow survive starvation, you get to spend the rest of your short life fighting nearly every day.

It really troubles me that people take the time to envision the end of the world while thinking they know how it’ll play out. No doubt it’ll be much different and much worse than we can imagine.

joshua on Sun, 16th Oct 2016 6:53 am 



ok cape town, there will be WORLDOPHOBIC ATTACKS takin place there

HOPE06 on Sun, 16th Oct 2016 7:01 am 



Everyone has ideas, and we are all hoping for something but at the end of all this wars, the world will end eventually. And in South Africa where Cape Town apparently said to be the richest African city is found, people are dying for protesting because they want free education and this is the place where things like racism fester, i don’t think South Africans will accept all those people who came running to South Africa because an article like this one said Cape Town is ‘SAFE’. What foolishness.
no matter where you run, the effects of the war will catch up with you, its a given the world will end soon.

Tristan Da Cunha is really the funniest one of all. No one can even land on that island without permission.
As the wise man said. “Who doesn’t know his geography is destined to fall face down in it.”

Alex on Sun, 16th Oct 2016 7:08 am 



A Nuclear war? No one survives, the earth would be raped in a cloche of radiation and all human and animal live ends. To even think anyone would survive is just stupid. Watch an old movie from the 60’s called “ON THE BEACH”

Good looking on Sun, 16th Oct 2016 7:08 am 



Many news articles every day. About tearing down my country. Cussing our democracy that allows free elections. Cussing our leadership in time of war.
The whole world reads comments from so many Americans that show they do not support the American government or the American way of life.
So many clamoring for war. So many that think America has an invisible protective dome shielding it from nuclear war or nuclear radiation that will cover the earth. Americans are to stupid to know that all nuetrons will become ionized and electricity will not exist. In cars, ships, planes, no where. Food will not grow for more than a hundred years. People will have to come out of underground places and die in 4 days when they do. Yet, America continues to bully the world in every nation and on every ocean. As the world has grown up and became nuclear armed.
This blood thirsty nation has brought in on them selves.

Warlock on Sun, 16th Oct 2016 7:13 am 



what a stupid article! 😀
1stly, if these places named here were truly immune from a global war, now you have let everybody know about them and they’re no longer immune, especially from mass immigration of those escaping that war!

2ndly, if a nuclear war on global scale takes place, the radiation and hazards of such a war will be so widespread in this small world that nowhere on the planet will be safe, not even if you go and live underground!

3rdly, the saying is “If Trump is elected, there’s going to be a civil war, if Hillary is elected, then it’s going to be a world war!”

so, …

More bad news for the dry southwest. We then get the lame solution from the author:
“There Is a Solution — A Zero Carbon Economy”

I agree that this is a solution but not one he envisions. A zero carbon economy is a collapsed economy. Maybe we should just start with changing the way we live and work. Maybe we should take some baby steps like practicing relative sacrifice and living a lower energy less resource intensive lifestyle. In the meantime we strive for more and have idiots tell us there is hope if we shoot for the moon and do a WWII crash mobilization. What a F***nut.

“’Megadrought’ Looms In American Southwest, NASA Warns”
http://tinyurl.com/j5j9fox

“A study released in Science Advances Wednesday finds strong evidence for severe, long-term droughts afflicting the American Southwest, driven by climate change. A megadrought lasting decades is 99 percent certain to hit the region this century, said scientists from Cornell University, the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University and the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. “Historically, megadroughts were extremely rare phenomena occurring only once or twice per millennium,” the report states. “According to our analysis of modeled responses to increased GHGs, these events could become commonplace if climate change goes unabated.”

Warlock on Sun, 16th Oct 2016 7:17 am 



forgot to add:

4thly, if Switzerland will remain neutral (as usual!) it’s not because they have the military power to do so, it’s because all war lords and the war thugs who follow and support them want a safe haven with a huge cash vault where they can hide their loot!

thomas w wandless on Sun, 16th Oct 2016 7:22 am 



If there is eve a nuclear war,which I doubt very much,I hope the first bomb hits my house !! There is a much better chance of a nuclear accident or a natural disaster than the threat of war !! So relax and watch the election results,perhaps a nuclear explosion would be better !!

Brunolem on Sun, 16th Oct 2016 7:32 am 



The article is rather…dumb, should I say, but the comments are excellent.

The collapse has begun, long ago.

The question is: will it keep on unfolding smoothly or will the process morph into an event, probably because of war?

Our civilization peaked sometime in the early seventies, then plateaued for a while, before starting to decline sometime in the early eighties, gently first, then rather steeply since the beginning of this century.

It took about 4 centuries for the Roman Empire to completely collapse.

Things happening much faster nowadays, one can reasonnably assume that 4 decades should do the job in the case of the American Empire and its numerous vassals.

This leads us to the next decade if, hopefully, we manage to go that far.

Those lucky enough to be there will enter the next decade on crutches (those that support our artificial economy and with it everything else) and leave it on a stretcher.

A war would only precipitate the inevitable, but probably not change the final outcome of this civilization which has done enough damage and has reached its expiry date.

As a Kansas City resident all my life, let me assure you that we will be a smoldering pit of ash in less than 3 seconds as well as every single community surrounding us considering Whiteman AFB (home of the Stealth Bomber) is less than 45 min away. In fact, Missouri and Kansas have the highest concentration of ICBM silo sites in the entire US, more than any other two states combined. Sorry folks but no one gets out alive from here.

Cloggie on Sun, 16th Oct 2016 7:34 am 



If you are on the lookout for a place to survive WW3, you should not only look at water, climate, food availability, distance from possibly nuclear impact areas… at least as important is to estimate who the enemy combatants are going to be. If nukes really are going to fly, a total break down of civilization would be the result. Human lives count for nothing in these circumstances if mega-cities are flattened in nuclear strikes.

If you are an American there is only one place to be after WW3: America and nowhere else. Today we live in a globalized world, where everybody is friendly to everybody (as long as you pay for your hotel room and tourist attractions). Perhaps the US-Canadian border, far away from nuclear launch silos and cities, would be best.

If a nuclear exchange remains limited to a few dozens of US, Russian, Chinese and French cities, these political entities will seize to exist and fall apart in smaller units. That will cause a global power vacuum and the westerner, the former king of the world, will have become fair game for robbers world wide.

Sand of times on Sun, 16th Oct 2016 7:36 am 



You can be the dumbest/stupid person to start a nuclear war, knowing that you and your people will be gone no matter what, due to radiation. Sure, atomic bomb was used to stop WWII, but that was long time ago when most of the super powers does not have so many of this WMD. Now you have to think twice? to decide because you are not just alone in this world that have the capability to annihilate other countries that have this this kind of weapon. It ONLY TAKE 1/O-N-E COUNTRY to blow some of this and the history of mankind is over. IF YOU THINK YOU WON, THINK AGAIN HOW DUMB/STUPID YOU ARE BECAUSE, YOU CAN KISS YOUR @$$ GOODBYE LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE!!!
By the way, if the wind does not blow to this place, then it is safe. Other that, all I can see is good luck…

Lucy on Sun, 16th Oct 2016 7:44 am 



My question is why would any government choose nuclear war when it effectively keeps killing everything forever and blows back upon itself? Everyone loses. I don’t understand why we still have nuclear weapons with all the data we have on them. The current election proves that only madmen and the corrupt end up world leaders. It’s like the suicide bomber mentality. For a nanosecond we get the satisfaction of harming our neighbors only to annihalate ourselves a second later. What kind of logic is this? We’re doomed.

makati1 on Sun, 16th Oct 2016 7:53 am 



If the nukes don’t get you, the 400+ nuclear power plants melting down will. There is no escape, only fast or slow death.

Ridiculous. You being an outsider and showing up needing limited resources will be considered an enemy. And all of this started because hillary, for reasons yet not explained, decided to overthrow the governments of Egypt, Libya, Syria, after she came to power because she was against the overthrow of the government of Iraq. The only reason can be that she was bought.

Think poor third world that has good climate, grows own food, natural water, and no resources like oil, gold, etc. I like Nicaragua…good strong president who wont put up with crapola. Nothing to gain by nuking such a place

CarmenO on Sun, 16th Oct 2016 8:28 am 



LOL Sure, because if there is a nuclear attack, the wind will stay still and the particles would settle down where the bomb went off. And the rest of the planet would be so “safe”. LOL I think I would be a lot safer where I am than in a BIG city like Cape Town. And where would they get enough food to feed everyone? Oh, I get it they are counting on cannibals. LOL For those who think the people taking us to war are stupid, nothing of the kind, they have their luxury bunkers way under ground. Just wait until the ground collapses burying them alive. Then they are really, really stupid.

Jed Daddie on Sun, 16th Oct 2016 8:29 am 



Kansas City is a “safe place”?????? Really? Whoever did their background for this article is a half-wit.

Let’s see Kansas City is a major rail hub, there is a large defense contractor there, and Whiteman Air Force base, home of the B-2 Stealth bomber is 50 miles east……Wichita, KS is 3 hours southwest, Ft. Leavenworth is 30 minutes north, and Ft. Riley, KS is 3 hours west…..Yeah Kansas City is “really safe”

I will say this about my hometown, there are enough limestone caves in the greater KC area to house close to 2 million people.

Funny story, my dad worked for a railroad in KC. Back in the early 1970’s there were Russian railroaders visiting KC on a cultural exchange. When my dad mentioned the cave warehouses the Russian’s were intrigued about caves big enough for trains. So dad took them on a tour. The Russians freaked out.

Keep God in your life and prey the knuckleheads in power never go that far, as no one will survive

Steve Hill on Sun, 16th Oct 2016 8:46 am 



Personally I have had a good life and would not want to survive a nuclear war. Conditions would be hard at the very least and survival for any period of time would be pretty remote. Better to see if their is life after death because life on earth would not be worth living any longer. And if there is no life after death than that would just be it. A scary thought for most of us but we all face it eventually. Stupid world leaders and the worst mass murderers in history if it ever does come to a nuclear exchange.

Kevin Amsbery on Sun, 16th Oct 2016 8:56 am 



Without Nuclear war…..IF you watch the evolution of natural disasters taking place like hurricanes, any significant disruption of food and water delivery to any major city will start a domino effect. Most people have 3-7 days of food. The Naked and Afraid TV series illustrates how weak a person gets within 3 days and very few make it 21 days. Turn off the food and water for a city of 3 million and within a short period of time every farmer within the range of a full tank of gas will get people climbing their fences. Roaming bands of thugs will go house to house until the city looks like Allepo. Some people like Mormons who are stock piling food are only creating a sanctuary for someone well armed to take it from them. People will band together for safety and support.
With Nukes……it depends on how many nukes. Everything will be contaminated but not necessarily fatal. Without our petroleum based industrialization, the Earth supports about 1.5 billion and we currently have 7 billion. So 5.5 billion would likely die off in a major food distribution disruption. Lakes and rivers would be fished out quickly. Deer and wild game would also disappear quickly. In the USA the best location would be up wind of Yellowstone’s caldera. Less population, fresh water and areas you can still grow and store food.
