Pick a border. Whichever you’re closest to. North or South. Look into making a plan. Crossing the border illegally is an option. Probably a better option if a draft is called. A charge and claiming asylum is preferable to being caught on the wrong side of a checkpoint. Fleeing war is a valid asylum claim pretty much anywhere on the planet.
Military recruitment has been all time low year over year for a decade or more. And Iran isn’t Iraq. That is a modern professional military armed and trained just as well as our guys. This won’t be a professional military vs an insurgency armed with homemade bombs and soviet era relics. If you want a peek at the attrition rates this war will have go look at the numbers coming out of the Ukraine war. On both sides.
Back when Bush’s War on Peace kicked off my dad made plans to get me out. He looked up an old war buddy he was in Vietnam with who lived in Canada. They planned to smuggle me across the woodlands. Not through an official crossing. Thankfully that plan never needed to be used. But he was serious. And I remember how serious he was.
I’d be more concerned about another American civil war than WWIII. There’s not enough allies on Iran’s side. Russia can’t even deal with Ukraine, let alone a direct conflict with NATO. China isn’t likely to get directly involved either, since there’s no real incentive for them at this point.
Why not both?
Hush; Alaskans have enough prep to worry about without Russian language lessons added on top.
Because why worry about something that isn’t going to happen?
Because history may not repeat itself literally, but it most certainly rhymes.
