Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Place To Relocate?

New submitter tsakas writes: "I am an IT researcher from southern Europe looking for a good place to relocate. Markets are pulling the teeth out of the strong European countries by destroying the south. The U.S. is in debt and there is no way of telling how long this can go on. China and India are on the rise. Brazil and Australia are looking good. The question: Which city would you choose to go and start a family if you were to stay there for a) 5, b) 10 and c) 20 years?"

That includes the leaders of the previous administration in the U.S., some in the current administration, and much (not all) of the republican "base" and religious right. And yes, some democrats for sure (but in the vast minority). Substitue 'conservative base' for 'republican' in commonwealth countries (at least in Canada). I say 'conservative base' because a lot of people who voted for the conservatitves last time did so based on the fact there is no viable alternative.

To be fair, it does appear that the current administration is heeding people's calls to stay the fuck out of wars, with Syria as an example. However I do wonder how much the fact that Syria really doesn't have that much in the way of oil reserves plays into things. But I really think they are being reserved this time and think they really would like to get more involved considering that a member of NATO is in danger of being pulled in (Turkey... since Russia has military bases in Syria this might be why a NATO escallation is subdued too). Also for serious consideration: Syria has been traditionally antagonistic to and borders long time regional ally, Israel, and the Assad regiegm is a strong ally of Iran, and with Iran supports and funds the terrorist group Hezbollah, which is destabolizing Lebanon from being a regional player and periodically attacks Israel. And finally also consider that Putin, who is trying it seems to recreate the Soviet era, wants to use Syria as a precident for countries not to interfere in dictators affairs, presumably because he doesn't want international interferance when he declares himself president for life. Considering all this, I'd say the U.S. has been fairly restrained.
