Why does everyone think New Zealand is safe? It's a commonwealth country and has huge defence connections to the US and UK.

Why does everyone think New Zealand is safe? It's a commonwealth country and has huge defence connections to the US and UK.
- Mikeb85 5y agoMainly because it's located so far from everything that it'll probably avoid being a casualty...
- DeWilde 5y agoI think the south of Argentine is probably a better spot to duke it out during a full-scale nuclear war.
- chrisseaton 5y ago'duke it out' means to go and fight someone - seems like you wanted to say the opposite?
- DeWilde 5y agoYes, I was aiming for hunker down. Thanks.
- excalibur 5y agoEveryone knows that NZ us a haven for rich westerners with luxurious bunkers, which may be enough to make it a target. For the crowd simply hoping for some variation of On the Beach, you should be aware that a nuclear war in the 2020s would almost certainly see Australia targeted by Chinese nukes.
- ClumsyPilot 5y ago> rich westerners with luxurious bunkers, which may be enough to make it a target. In an apocalypse scenario, they are just extra mouths to feed - I wouldn't waste any missiles to target rich people's mansions in any country, but the locals might have plans for them...
- lamontcg 5y agoWell you see, they'll pay the locals handsomely in bitcoin...

- robonerd 5y agoThe way things are going, New Zealand might catch a few nukes if for no other reason than to punish all the powerful people that fled there before the shooting started.

- postsantum 5y agoThere is an entire subreddit devoted to maps without NZ on it. I guess they hope Russians have one of these maps and kinda forgot about that place altogether
