Since people from war-torn nations often flee to Europe where they tend to get all kinds of help and support, I wonder what countries Europeans would/could flee to - and be welcomed by - if there were to be a war engulfing most of Europe?

Any thoughts?

      That’s the least important consideration. When people arrive in the country they don’t just get told “here’s some land!” And dumped in an open field to make do. The resources needed for them are houses, jobs, health care, and so forth. We don’t have vast amounts of that lying around unused.

        Literally how Manitoba came to be. 🤣

        It works both ways too: more immigration means more people to build roads/houses, staff hospitals etc.

          Sure, but it takes time. There’s no way we could handle a Europe’s worth of refugees pouring in at once.
