The dismaying speculation of World War Three is looming after nuclear capable missiles were tested on Monday, one after the other just within a gap of hours, by Russia, the United States and France. Fears of returning to a Cold War-era is aroused amid the abandonment of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty. The French military has started the tests, being followed by the US and Russia.
Here in this context it is worth mentioning that, the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty was an arms control agreement from 1987 to 2019, between the United States and the Soviet Union. It was signed by President Ronald Reagan and General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev on 8 December 1987.
On the ground of disturbing backdrop, the quest for a safe heaven, to retreat is justified.
Author Lan Sluder, a travel story specialist, has recommended a perfect destination for it – Belize, saying, in one of his blog posts that he would “vote for Belize” as the safest location.
Belize is a country in Central America, on the eastern coast line of it, with Caribbean Sea shorelines to the east and dense jungle to the west.
With a population of around 375,000, the Belize Barrier Reef hosts marine life and caves, while architectural wonders such as Mayan ruins can be found in its jungle.
According to Lan Sluder, “Belize has the most wide-ranging cave systems in Central America for escaping radiation.”
Continuing to appreciate the safety of the destination, he added: “It is a small country, only a little over 6,000 square miles of area on the mainland, with lowest population densities in the Western Hemisphere. And regarding its people, those live within or nearby, are simply peace lovers.”
Belize’s year-round sub-tropical climate makes it neither too cold nor too hot. Hence there is no need of any special electrical equipment to make the climate favourable. Rather you can simply appraoch the place with your regular attire.
As says the famous Aldous Huxley quote on the former British Honduras, “If really the world had any ends, Belize would certainly be one of them.”
