Here are some of the most unfavorable locations to be in if World War III were to commence today.
Discussions surrounding a potential third World War have never been more prevalent, especially given the current global tensions highlighted by the ongoing conflict in Europe following Russia’s incursion into Ukraine in 2022.
In the unfortunate event that such a global conflict were to erupt, finding a place that offers some level of safety becomes crucial during such uncertain times.
Therefore, it’s essential to know which countries are considered the ‘worst’ to be in should World War III break out, with ChatGPT providing some insights.
The AI chatbot notes: “As a leading global military power and a member of NATO, the U.S. would be a primary target.”
Major cities like Washington D.C., Los Angeles, and New York City are identified as being particularly vulnerable.
The second country on the list is unsurprisingly Russia, which many assume would be a key instigator in any potential World War III scenario.
ChatGPT describes it as ‘a nuclear superpower and a likely belligerent in WW3’, with cities like Moscow and Saint Petersburg considered likely targets.
China is another nation where you would want to avoid being during a World War III, with ChatGPT noting: “A major global power with potential involvement in conflicts, especially concerning Taiwan.”
Other countries mentioned include Ukraine in fourth place, followed by Germany, the UK, France, and Poland tied for fifth. According to AI, Germany and Poland could face significant threats, while areas in the Middle East, Taiwan, and North Korea are also ranked among the top ten riskiest locations.
Former President Trump frequently references World War III, notably during a heated exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
He has also broached the topic in a speech to the Justice Department, where he remarked: “I think we have it, I think we have it, but this could lead to World War III, very easily, could very easily lead to World War III.
“But I think we’re in pretty good shape, a lot better than where we were before we got involved.
“That was heading into World War III territory, that would’ve been a war like no other because of nuclear weapons, and other types of weapons that you don’t even wanna know about.”
In terms of the safest countries should World War III occur, Switzerland, Iceland, and Argentina are among those considered safer options.
