There is a chance that ultimately wisdom prevails and no one instigates a conflict highly likely to be the end of us all, but there\u2019s also the very real possibility that the\u00a0<em>wrong\u00a0<\/em>individual makes a rash decision, effectively dooming most of the rest of the people on Planet Earth.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, it\u2019s probably a good idea that you know where\u00a0<em>not to be\u00a0<\/em>in the event that WWIII does end up happening. Given the aforementioned phenomenal power of the missiles in the arsenals of today, nowhere in the world is truly safe if the superpowers decide to start throwing warheads at one another.<\/p>\n<div id=\"newsner-0e5815d1756fd347dd793a7a8534ba82\" class=\"newsner-0e5815d1756fd347dd793a7a8534ba82 newsner-incide_content_once\">\n<div id=\"newsner-1586072273\" class=\"newsner-incide_content_once\">\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails\" class=\"trc_related_container tbl-trecs-container trc_spotlight_widget\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>That being said, there are places that are decidedly more dangerous than others. According\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/world\/1857536\/world-war-3-map-safest-most-dangerous-countries\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">to<\/a>\u00a0analysis from the Daily Express, below are the six places that will be the worst to live in or be in if the war to end all wars breaks out.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-the-u-s\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The U.S.<\/h2>\n<p>No surprises here. If World War III is to happen, the chances are very high that the United States will be involved. In fact, given Trump\u2019s erratic style of governance and increasingly worrying apparent stratagem, it could well be the U.S.\u2019s actions kick off any such conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Suffice it to say that keeping away from the States will likely be a good idea, particularly if the U.S. finds itself on the opposing end of the battlefield from another superpower.<\/p>\n<p>One expert has even gone as far as to detail the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.newsner.com\/news\/expert-reveals-the-15-us-cities-that-would-be-first-targets-in-ww3-some-might-surprise-you\/\">15 U.S. cities<\/a>\u00a0that would be most at risk of being targeted in the event of a war.<\/p>\n<div id=\"newsner-159736010\" class=\"newsner-article_inside_content\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"newsner-4b6e3b22bc3170d60243d9157ab15749\" class=\"newsner-4b6e3b22bc3170d60243d9157ab15749 newsner-amp_article_inside_content\"><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"h-iran\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Iran<\/h2>\n<p>Last year, Iran was bombed by the U.S.\u00a0after it was alleged that the country were creating nuclear materials. It also sent missiles in Israel\u2019s direction, and the Trump administration recently warned of impending military action if the Middle Eastern country doesn\u2019t quell its current political chaos.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Israel<\/h2>\n<p>Considering their long-standing conflict with Palestine, coupled with the aforementioned attack from Iranian missiles last year, tensions are currently very high indeed.<\/p>\n<p>Israel might not be as likely to be drawn into a World War as the U.S. or Russia are, but it\u2019s far from the safest place to be.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-russia\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Russia<\/h2>\n<p>Another fairly obvious one. Russia has been at war with Ukraine since its invasion in 2022, and its aggressive stance hasn\u2019t yet been blunted.<\/p>\n<p>Vladimir Putin and other high-ranking Russian officials have frequently warned that their country is prepared for any war, be with it with the U.S. or with NATO as a whole.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-taiwan\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Taiwan<\/h2>\n<p>Taiwan remains under the very real threat of Chinese invasion. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has said it wants to \u2018reunify\u2019 the two countries, with President Xi Jinping declaring in 2021 that China and Taiwan\u2019s \u2018reunification\u2019 must happen.<\/p>\n<p>In his recent New Year\u2019s speech, President Xi reiterated the importance of this, saying: \u201cThe reunification of our motherland, a trend of the times, is unstoppable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Put simply, if a World War breaks out, China may quickly move to succumb Taiwan. Don\u2019t be there when it happens.<\/p>\n<div id=\"newsner-224528384\" class=\"newsner-article_inside_content\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"newsner-a876003c0f4e8c28415053c75564430a\" class=\"newsner-a876003c0f4e8c28415053c75564430a newsner-amp_article_inside_content\"><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">North Korea<\/h2>\n<p>Perhaps a bit of a wild card given their global standing (plus the fact the chances of you finding yourself in North Korea anytime soon are extremely remote), but North Korea\u00a0has been allied with Russia for several years and is rumored to have sent troops to fight on their behalf in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p><em>If\u00a0<\/em>North Korea happen to be involved in some way in World War III, it\u2019s best to stay well away.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you think World War III is on looming?
