Since people from war-torn nations often flee to Europe where they tend to get all kinds of help and support, I wonder what countries Europeans would/could flee to - and be welcomed by - if there were to be a war engulfing most of Europe?

Any thoughts?

    So, this might change in the future and is not representative of every person here, but as an European, the USA would be one of the last places on my list to flee to if I had to. The current administration has made it more than clear that Europeans are not welcome (that doesn’t speak for all US Americans, of course, but still).

    Canada or a South American country like Brazil would be a much better choice.

    If not America, there’s North Africa (Tunisia, Egypt), Turkey (which is arguably part of Europe in certain ways) and maybe even a Caucasus state, depending on what kind of war I’m fleeing from.

    Some of those might be better suited for a longer stay than others.

      Odds are the USA will be on the wrong side of any major conflict and Canada would also be looking to Europe for support.
