Those of you considering Mexico, where in Mexico are you looking?

What do you guys think about this? I really hope he is wrong but judging by the events here in Spain last year all the way into April I am afraid he may be right.
It's good for now but don't get your hopes up. I live here and they are already trying to circumvent Greg Abbott as they are in Florida with Ron DeSantis. Although some good news is that there is still no enforcement of masks wherever I have gone. They're trying to enforce masks in schools recently but it's really muddy waters right now as far as that goes. Mexico might be alright but travel between the borders is, technically, still only for "essential purposes".Texas seems like a pretty good option if you plan to stay in America. Abbot while not perfect, is one of the few pushing back against vaccine and mask mandates and escaping to Mexico is also an option if things take a turn for the worst.
I see a lot of people making a case for staying in your home country. Can someone give an effective counter-argument to this? I say this because I am due to leave in a few days. I had booked a flight literally months ago, but was too lazy to get on it, so kept changing the flight week to week, month to month (zero change fees with the airline but I can't get a refund). It was a pricey flight so I would really hate to lose all that money for no reason. Flight is to Balkans, where there are no vax passports yet to my knowledge.
Because some of us need to survive to keep the embers burning, and not stay out in the wind where they will be blown away.Serious question - if you have faith in Christ why would you run? Or do you feel like that is what God wants you to do? I
It is not to escape suffering, since suffering is surely coming for all of us in the days ahead. As @brotherjimbob said, it is the last chance to leave if you choose to do so. Otherwise you must be resign yourself to the possibility that you will have to remain where you are forever.Serious question - if you have faith in Christ why would you run? Or do you feel like that is what God wants you to do? If you say so it is not my place to question it, I am just curious. Maybe look for a place outside of the city (I did) but fleeing to another country seems a little extreme. Maybe I just don't get it. In any case I'm no hero or martyr and I hope and pray for a good outcome but if God determines it is my fate to suffer and be persecuted I will do my best to face it head on and not try to run or hide from it. I have to believe he will provide and reward us for our faith in him if we see it to the end.
Georgia will be enlightened in the End Days; this will be revealed not materially but spiritually. Believers from many countries will gather in Georgia. The wicked deeds started by communists are only a prologue. The worst is ahead. The world has never witnessed such a sorrow from the time immemorial. Georgia will be protected by the Holy Virgin as Iberia is the country chosen by the Holy Mother of God as Her lot. The fight between the prophets Elijah and Enoch against Antichrist will be shown on TV. The leaving of the Holy Mountain by the icon of the Holy Virgin of Iveron will be followed by the bell ringing. The churches will bow down to commemorate the farewell. This also will be shown on TV, so that the whole world could see that and those, who want to save their souls could come to Georgia.
When the disciples of Christ cast lots after Pentecost, the lot for evangelizing Georgia fell to the Most Holy Theotokos. But Christ revealed to His Mother that it was not His will for her to preach there. “You have been entrusted to protect the Georgian nation,” He said, “but the role of evangelizing that land belongs to My disciple Andrew the First-called..."
Georgia will resurrect like Lazarus through many hardships and sufferings, but not until the restoration of monarchy. Salvation will come when you say “This is the end”.
It's a good option to be honest. You can also get around other countries by bus.If I wanted to stay in Europe I would take my chances in Albania. It's out of EU, it's mountainous, it's underdeveloped, it's warm and sunny and the people are down to earth. There are villages in the mountains where hardly anyone lives any more. It's a scarce place already, people have lived like that for a long time, they won't miss much when the rest of the world falls. No one will hunt you down during lockdown in the mountains. If this won't be enough, hardly anything else will.

The only thing is though how realistic is it for people to live in these villages with remote work etc...? How many of us have survival skills to live in the mountains for lengthy periods?
Also, if SHTF for real nobody will care about you as a tourist in their country (remember that is all you are to them. They do not see you as some based renegade freedom warrior. They see dollar signs and view you more as a fun little puppy than a full human being.)
This is going to continue probably for years so that should be factored in. It's not like you'll just be camping out there for a few months while this blows over.
I stayed there for over a month and loved it, but of course psychologically it is quite different when you don't have a return flight option. Maybe it's better in a way - forces you to commit to the country. I also stayed there when there were basically no covid cases per day. The cases are rising now. Also, around 40% of the population have taken one dose of the vax. It isn't high but it isn't low either.
The thing I know about Albania is they had major lockdowns right at the start...but nothing since then. Not last winter, so will they this winter?
But when they had lockdowns, they were harsh. You had to send some message on your phone when you left your house.
The West don't care about Albania and they seem disinterested in this country. Maybe it's because it was closed off from the world for so long. But this is a good thing overall.
It's not developed. Lots of old supermarkets. Almost no places take card. No self-service check-outs etc...I cannot see how they could implement covid pass effectively here in the near future.
I have heard Albanians really are unpredictable and will panic in a crisis. I did not personally see anything like this, but I have heard they can behave like animals when angered. This doesn't exactly fill me with calm when I consider what may come.
Albanians are very loyal to their families. They are traditional people. I have a feeling that the kind people helping you out as a tourist won't exactly be that keen to aid you if there was what they perceived as a sudden threat to their family. Food shortages etc...Big risk to me when alone in a foreign country.
The feeling of escape (planning and doing it) takes away all of the stress of whatever place you are in but eventually you have to be somewhere and it's going to be hard in that place.
Of course, I remember the moment I got on the BA return flight and all these demands to put on my mask. It really did feel like entering a different world completely. And the feeling I got when I entered arrivals in Heathrow has to be one of the most depressed post flight feelings ever. I went from no covid news on my mind at all to being called daily by the government.
I sometimes think I should have gone right back to be honest and I may well live to regret not doing so.
If I was alone and in one of the worst places (UK, Australia, NY or California in the US, etc) then I would also move. Though I would think about moving to a more remote place in the same country so at least I would not risk being deported due to not being a resident.I see a lot of people making a case for staying in your home country. Can someone give an effective counter-argument to this? I say this because I am due to leave in a few days.

I believe in that it is not enough to believe in God but you also have to do the right thing. Like "Trust in God and keep your powder dry".Serious question - if you have faith in Christ why would you run? Or do you feel like that is what God wants you to do? If you say so it is not my place to question it, I am just curious. Maybe look for a place outside of the city (I did) but fleeing to another country seems a little extreme. Maybe I just don't get it. In any case I'm no hero or martyr and I hope and pray for a good outcome but if God determines it is my fate to suffer and be persecuted I will do my best to face it head on and not try to run or hide from it.
