The warnings about global conflict are no longer distant or theoretical. World leaders now openly discuss escalation, nuclear weapons, and scenarios once called “unthinkable.” As tensions grow, many Americans are asking a troubling question: if a global war begins, is there anywhere truly safe to live?

Radiation, economic disruption, and global instability could affect nearly every region. In other words, even areas far from direct attacks could still feel the consequences.
