Which Countries Would Be Safe if World War III Starts?
Information The idea of World War III evokes images of widespread destruction and global chaos. While no one desires such a conflict, it is worth considering which countries might remain relatively safe if a global war were to erupt. Safety, in this context, can be measured by geographic isolation, political neutrality, economic self-sufficiency, and limited strategic value to warring powers.

No King Rallies in America.
Trump has been compared to the Dictator King of Tudor times, Henry 8th. Henry the 8th's court was full of gossip of who was in and who was out when it came to the king's favour. The king was probably mentally unstable, with fits of anger, and changing his mind or being inconsistent. People remained loyal to him out of fear, a court of yes men and women. People were afraid to tell the king the truth or the error of his ways lest they upset him. The same system seems to operate in the Court of King Donald. Trump is a self-obsessed man who wants all eyes on him, who lashes out when things don't go his way, a little like the Tudor King.

Vlad The Invader's Shadow Fleets.
Starmer has cleared the way for the Royal Navy to board Russian 'shadow fleets'. So what are shadow fleets? Shadow fleets are ships that use deception in various ways to get past ships patrolling that will interdict them, board them, and check that they are not carrying. anything that will help Putin's war with Zelenskyy. Recently, a ship from Venezuela (if I have this correct), before Maduro, was whisked from that country to the US to face trial, and reflagged itself flying the Russian colours. The fugitive ship, which had failed to collect Venezuelan oil from the under-siege Maduro regime, was hoping to race across the Atlantic and outrun its American pursuers. The ship had arranged to meet Russian ships to protect it. But the US ships caught up with it and, together with UK forces, boarded the ship.
