I operate under the assumption that i do not have all of the information and if you wish please educate me or correct me if i'm wrong with my arguments or anything i have a mistake upon, thank you. ( i'm literally just an 18 year old )

I wanted to make a post about this because of the harsh time we are in, especially the rise of more conflicts, crisis and a period in history where we are slowly creeping towards the edge of god knows where...
And i don't mean to spread drama, chaos and stress upon the people who read this but as a reminder and warning that the world is slowly going to a dark age in this time, you know the big names.. 3 powerful men who are known to be richest in the world sitting behind trump's inauguration

Honorable mentions: Sundar Pichai, Sam altman and Peter Thiel

Take this information whatever you'd like.

Sharing my Worst Case Scenario:

I've always been thinking this so intensely today that's just been bugging me lately, that one day, i might not have enough time to build enough income and money to escape my own country ( Phillippines ) and one day once a war starts like the incoming attack on the chinese in my country and i get drafted, i'll be dead by the time i even set foot off to the battlefield because of their nukes, i fear that so much and it scares me deeply

My Solution and Plan:

When i do succeed in my business and build enough of that money and income i'll probably go to switzerland or dubai, that way i can feel safe in a country that's not gonna fear any neighboring countries trying to wage war and invade them, its a goal i truly wish to achieve and strive for

Please do share your own plans and solutions to solving the question i proposed on the title.

As always i truly value your time spending on reading this thread i made, because i felt like this was necessary to shed light on the darkness of this harsh time we are in and hoping other people see this and help others aswell, Hope everyone that is reading this is having a splendid day god bless you!
