Argentina probably. Generally the southern hemisphere is pretty safe. Nobody's wasting nukes on brown people, except maybe Israel.

Wouldn't bet on argentina. They've got their own dickhead in chief who's also waging war against progress.

Yeah, it may not be the best choice, but not the worst either. They're not much of a threat to the big powers, and if they just stay out of it they'll probably come through fine.

You've got a lot more faith in the system than I do, I think. I don't think people like Milei wouldn't coup if a global conflict that strained trade routes were to happen. Authoritarians like him don't need much prodding to take advantage of a bad situation.

Big hypothetical, ik, but it wouldn't surprise me if people like him leaned on fascist legacy.

Argentinians are mostly white.

Most Americans have no idea how historically similar the US and Argentina actually were. It's honestly weird that Argentina's similar circumstances didn't turn it into a great power like the US.
