Question

Question for immigrants - if you were born in 1 country but lived in another country for, say, half your life and are integrated in both countries, suppose that war broke out between these 2 countries... which side would you choose & why ?

Also what is your country of birth & residence & how long haveyou lived there ?

Answer 1

You assume people will feel obligated to take one side or the other. Obviously, because I live in America and would trust my safety here better, I would stay here. But, I do not support war for any reason, so I would hope the two countries could reach a compromise with few casualties as quickly as possible. I would be a conscienscious objector if drafted and I'm sure the government would understand my situation.

From Germany, lived in U.S. for 18 years (almost my entire life).

Answer 2

I was born in Sweden and currently reside in the US. I have been here over half my life now. Considering Sweden is a neutral country, I guess I'd be a bit annoyed at the US for picking a fight.

I'd go to Sweden and help defend it from any aggressor. If you can get in a fight with Sweden, you are definitely the aggressor, no matter what country you may be!
