Navy SEAL's Top 5 Places to Go If the World Ends 🤯
A Navy SEAL discusses his skepticism about Americans' willingness to fight for their country and explores dual citizenship options as a contingency plan. He highlights five countries — Ireland, Portugal, Italy, Canada, and Paraguay — as top destinations if things go south. Paraguay stands out to him as particularly appealing due to its isolation and low profile.
Summary
The conversation opens with a Navy SEAL expressing his personal commitment to fighting for the United States, but voicing doubt about whether enough other Americans share that commitment. He suggests that one person fighting alone won't make a difference, and his conversation partner pushes back, arguing there are plenty of people willing to fight. The SEAL remains skeptical, calling much of it 'all talk.'
This leads into a discussion about dual citizenship as a practical backup plan. The five countries identified as top options are Ireland, Portugal, Italy, Canada, and Paraguay. Ireland is noted as accessible immediately for those with Irish roots. Portugal requires learning Portuguese. Italy and Canada are also mentioned without specific details in this excerpt.
Paraguay emerges as the SEAL's personal top choice if he ever needed to flee. His reasoning is strategic and practical: it is far enough south to be out of the main drug trafficking corridors run by cartels, it has no ocean access making it unappealing to tourists, and it is largely agricultural and under the radar. The implication is that Paraguay's obscurity and lack of strategic value make it a safer, quieter place to ride out a collapse scenario.
