    As opposed to to your life ending in a few short months on a battlefield?

    Sure. Why not.

    It doesn’t have to be Sth America. US men dodging the draft were given political asylum in Canada or Sweden during the Vietnam war and an estimated 60-100,000 fled the US.

    So it is actually:

    Decades in another modern western nation or weeks/months on a battle field?

    Easy choice.

      I asked it in question form because I was legitimately curious. Where do you plan to go while the world you leave behind devolves into an authoritarian hell? What other “modern western nation” would be left if Russia and/or China expands all the way across Europe as well as onto US Shores?

      You don’t have a second life to flee to if the west fails to defend itself.
