The Safest City in Indonesia If World War 3 Happens, This is the Criterion

YOGYAKARTA - Indonesia is considered one of the safest countries if World War (PD) 3 erupts. From this assumption, there are many speculations that the safest city in Indonesia if World War 3 occurs is Semarang, Central Java. But is the speculation true?

Reported by Surver Magazine, Indonesia is included in the list of safe countries if World War III breaks out at any time. Indonesia is not alone, there are several other countries considered safe including New Zealand.

Regarding the safest city in Indonesia if a world war breaks out, military and defense observers from the Institute for Security and Strategic Studies (ISESS), Khairul Fahmi, explained that small towns in the highlands could be the best choice.

Quoted from Kompas, Khairul Fahmi explained that in classical defense theory, the area considered safe to take refuge from war conflicts is the hinterland. The area that falls into this criteria is usually far from the coast, surrounded by natural fortresses, and is considered not strategic both in terms of military and economic.

Examples of inland cities that are likely to be safe from war are Wonosobo, Temanggung, or other inland areas in Kalimantan.

However, he emphasized that the concept of modern warfare in general does not recognize positions. Modern warfare involving major powers can almost certainly reach all cities or areas. Due to this condition, there is no city or area that is truly safe to live in.

This can happen because modern technology today is able to penetrate any city with sophisticated tools such as drones, satellites, and missiles. In addition, in modern warfare, it does not rely on physical attacks, but non-military attacks such as cyber threats.

Those are some of the safest cities in Indonesia if World War 3 happens. Visit VOI.id for other interesting information.
