Where Are The Most Dangerous Countries In The World

The most dangerous countries in the world?

The best list I've come across is Forbes. Mercers do a good list but you have to subscribe and pay a fee to view I think, not sure.

1. Afghanistan
2. Iraq
3. Somalia
4. Pakistan
5. Sudan
6. Yemen
7. Democratic Republic of Congo
8. Guinea
9. Russian Caucasus
10. Nigeria
11. Chad
12. The Sahel
13. Haiti
14. Colombia
15. Zimbabwe

To me, this list still has a couple of frustrations. Pakistan and Iraq are dangerous countries, though they're based more on dangers for westerners than overall violence which contradicts the list title. Colombia's more dangerous than Pakistan and it's 10 places lower.

Iraq's calmed down hugely, there's no way in hell it's as dangerous as Somalia or DR Congo now. Hilarious. Afghanistan is terrible but I don't think I'm preaching to the choir there! Haiti remains the most dangerous place in the Caribbean and like I was saying, I mostly like the list.

Two of the choices aren't countries either but regions.

Whatever you do, don't go on crime rates. In most instances it's a case of *the safer the city or country, the more crime is reported*. You can go on *murder* rates - to a point, and it's useless including war zones since they don't (can't) count properly due to the conditions. Entities with huge murder rates but mundane crime rates possibly have more murders than are in the stats (Colombia which is partly war zone and Venezuela certainly do). Those places which have a lot of murders but also high reported crime rates are logically more likely to have accurate murder rates (USA, South Africa).

Outside of wars, Honduras and Venezuela lead the world in murder.

What are the most dangerous countries in the world that are not experiencing war?

Surely the United States: not to live or visit but to live in the same planet with them.Its military resources are out of proportion for defense, thus, its only motive and justification for existing is to attack other countries: it is tremendously impractical for any other country to invade or attack the US in any way.This means that is very clear that the US military system is so over sized and humongous that self defense as a justification for its existence is out of the question.That is why the US is so dangerous, specially when you realize that the US military is a tool for political means that are. in all cases. devoted to enrich US corporations that have kidnapped the political system for their benefit.It is basically a racketeer system, even for its allies, as the message is clear: either you pay for US protection or you suffer the consequences.Even if you refuse to accept their their military living in your country, you pretend to defend yourself and you want to buy your own arms, you have to buy them from the US.It is like if a mafia boss made you to pay for his guys salaries and living expenses but the guys are living in your house.On top of that, if you want to buy your own pistol you should buy it from the boss, while his guys, the ones living side by side with your family, the ones that know who lives in your house and which are their habits and customs, have mini Uzis and grenades.

What are the most dangerous countries in the world in terms of wildlife?

Australia. It seems to me that all the deadly things live there. Here are some of the nasty things that live in Australia.Saltwater Crocodile: Largest and most powerful of all the crocodiliansGreat White Sharks: Self explanatory, even though shark attacks are rareStonefish: Just one sting can be lethal, plus the hide on the seafloor so it’s hard to see themBlue Ringed Octopus: They may look tiny, but they have enough toxins to kill multiple grown men and no antidote existsInland Taipan: One of the most dangerous snakesBox Jellyfish: One of the most dangerous jellyfishIrukanji Jellyfish: Too small to see; deadly effects not felt immediatelyCone Shells: Very deadly; no antidote exists, so don’t pick up shellsSydney Funnel Web SpiderEuropean Honey BeeEastern Brown SnakeAnd many more animals

Is Russia still one of the most dangerous countries in the world?

To themselves definitely. They are pretty much in the front line in cyber warfare. Obviously they are as dangerous as currently possible but they aren’t exactly being hostile.

What are the most dangerous countries for black people?

I don't think there are a specific country where you will face danger in 2017 unless that place is already violent or in a war etc.However there are probably many countries who are not a fan or just racist towards African orgin people or any other race color.And a quick research it says that India, China, Italy, Russia, Lebanon, South Korea, Israel, Thailand, Germany, Spain and many moreWhere SOME people experienced racism or prejudice openly for being Black/African.So this is very wide question and it's up to the individual personal experience etc and if that country has African orgin locals or Expat or student population because if not then it's probably not as open or diverse to black, brown or any other color.Again this is really impossible to answer because Racism is mostly among uneducated people and it's something that can happen anywhere if you are in the wrong place but generally speaking a Black person might experience racism openly in some countries not violence or anything barbaric nowadays.

Why are America and Israel the most dangerous countries for Islam?

Not sure where you get that idea but they are not. May be you are wondering why some Muslims consider them as such but that’s no different than some people in US or Israel seeing all Muslims as terrorists.In general hate and fear are great political tools. Therefore politicians or “leaders” in some societies who are otherwise useless tend to fuel fear of a specific group to create hate in order to maintain their power. In some Muslim countries the go-to evil guys are US and Israel as US is the most influential country in the world and has ties to basically everywhere and Israel is in a major conflict in the middle of a dominantly Muslim region. Therefore it’s easy to portray them as evil towards people that want to believe that.In reality there’s no such thing as a country being dangerous to a whole religion. Trump’s pretty much every word towards Islam has been a hate message but one thing to keep in mind that like most presidents he’s useless and preaching to the hateful people in US similar to what some Muslim leaders are doing with regards to US. In reality the presidency in US doesn’t have as much power as most of his stupidity can be overturned by the rule of law that intelligent people are protecting.

What is the most dangerous country on planet earth?

Tough question. Here … take your pick.Honduras AKA Latin America. The country with the highest per capita homicide rate in the world is Honduras. I lived there in the 80s as an American Army Officer. To take breaks from the Honduran stress, I could go to El Salvador #4 or Guatemala #5. Those places were work, too. I consulted in El Salvador in 2014. Not a safe place then or now. Don't mention the Nicaraguan border, Panama or Colombia, please. But Honduras was a nightmare. I worked all over Latin America. All of it is bad except for Costa Rica.America is the world's most dangerous country. We are always at war somewhere … acknowledged or not.Russia and the former Soviet Republics are also very dangerous. The Americans fought the Soviet’s proxy, Cuba, in different parts of the world … Central America, the Carribean, and Africa. The Soviets were actively involved in Asia … Vietnam, for example, and North Korea. Americans were even in Russia in the early 1900s as the Russians created the Soviet Union. The Soviets fought border wars in Xinjiang China in the 60s and funded the Islamic insurgency afterwards that sent many fighters to Syria with Daesh last year. In China I said, “America needs China. China needs America. Both of us look over our shoulders at Russia.” The Chinese agreed.So, there is more local danger in Latin America than even Africa. I know both places very well.The greatest world danger is created today and funded by America and Russia. Nuclear weapons. Military. Money. Spies. The Cold War is not so cold, and it never ended. Think Syria. The Americans killed a lot of Russians there this Spring.
