That's exactly how I felt when I was living in Panama over 12 years ago. Gringos are already targets now, and it will be much worse for gringos when the SHTF.
I agree that the red rural areas in the US will be the best places to be then, which is why I moved back here.
Yup. I will move back as soon as we dispose of our house here in the DR.
At least red-red areas in the states have a fighting chance together, a common community. I'm no longer really "fighting age", but I'll be hell in support.
Right now gringos are somewhat a "protected" class because the police aggressively protect them lest tourism suffer. But when the SHTF, I guarantee griongos will be hunted down by predators, many criminals deported from the states. These criminals think all gringos have money stashed away in their house.
PLUS, getting a firearm here is not only expensive ($2K+ for a generic 9mm), but seriously bureaucratic.
The other issue is retribution. If you kill a criminal, the criminal's family will seek retribution eye-for-an-eye style. I think it's a Caribbean/Latino thing.
I once thought of living in Belize. It only took me 24 hours to realize it was not the place for me. Same goes for Guatemala...I knew immediately. Every place is different for each person. Spiritual preparation is the most important thing. Btw, I drove to Central America...four times...a lone female. If you give in to fear porn...all is lost
There is no place to hide.
When the Overlorfds come for Mexico, and they will, it won't matter where you are. And worse, there will be no one in the third world to protect you.
I live in the DR. If the world economy goes to shit, I will be a prime #1 target for hungry people.
I actually think chances are better in red-red areas of America than the third world.

Armas are difficult and expensive to get in most/all LA countries, which was reason #2 for moving back here.
For sure gringos will be the prime targets when the SHTF, and they will have no armas for self defense, so they will be easy pickings.
All true.

That's not just a Caribbean/Latino thing. It is how all mafia criminal organizations operate?
What happened to all of the witnesses and whistle blowers against them?
Yeah, and the police and their laws will not help the gringo.
Remember what happened to John McAfee in Belize?
I'm still wondering what really happened to him!

West Virginia. 202 acres family compound on the side of a mountain. I think you might be right.
