I'm curious to know how this post originated. @numanrace - do you have some connection with Myanmar?

Are you referring to Myannmar? As far as I know, the country hasn't been called Burma in quite some time.

The stability of the whole Golden Triangle region is always a concern. Not just Myannmar.

There are too many factions in play in the region to simply put the brunt of the blame on one group. To think that if the region was somehow cleared of Islamic influences there would suddenly be ushered in a long period of peace and prosperity is to fail to fully understand the gravity of the situation.

Over the past half century, Thailand has been the stabalizing force which gives the whole Golden Triangle region what tenuous stability that it holds on to. Following the passing of King Bhumibol Adulyadej a couple of years ago, time will tell if this holds sway.

Most recently, Myannmar has seemed to have far more issues with militant Buddhist factions than any other group. The human rights violations these monsters have perpetrated upon their own people make North Korea look like a school yard bully calling a kid four eyes.

Of the approximately one million Rohingya Muslim people living in Myanmar, more than 700,000 were subjected to ethnic cleansing and genocide by the military forces and Buddhist population during the 2016 to 2017 persecution. Hundreds of thousands fled as refugees to Bangladesh where the women and children were subjected to sexual violence and slavery.
'Numanrace' your information is wrong; your comments are racist, and considering the facts of this appalling human tragedy, your question is frivolous. Please educate yourself of the facts before posting this sort of bigotted nonsense.

No.

No. I wouldn't.
I have no interest in that part of the world. It's humid enough where I live now.

I have lived out of the US, it was a great and educational experience. That being said, I'm not planning on leaving again. They will have to get along without me. Unless all my kids/grandkids decide to move there, then I'll suck it up and go along.

I'm thinking it's far too humid for my liking, but that's just an assumption.

I did a bit of research on Burma as a retirement destination several years ago and found it to be far to unstable and repressive for my liking. Beautiful country but far too dangerous to live or invest.

A religion-free nation which naturally arose would be one ingredient of a potentially good culture to live amongst. But it takes more than one thing to make a good country.

Most Muslims are decent people, but those who see the Koran literally as the word of their god are the ones who have the potential to be troublesome, or those who are angry enough and have nothing to lose.

I'd wait til they got rid of the Buddhist terrorists and the Junta first. The Muslims are the least of Burma's worries.

What? Burma changed its name in 1989. And it's not Islamic terrorism in Myanmar. It's Buddhist.

Hell, no, I would not move there. There are no pros.

Pros..all those freedom fighters running around in the jungle has kept the tide of polluting, destroying humanity at bay, so that birds and animals long thought extinct have been reported seen there.

Studies show that when there is war, wildlife wins, because farming stops during war, and that's the main destroyer of the environment. Even places where there were nuclear disasters now teem with wildlife.

The main thing is to keep Americans out, since they seem to want to turn the entire world into strip malls and junk food franchises.

Do they have a welfare state, what is their health care system like, is there widespread government corruption, what is the general standard of living, is the water safe, is there malaria, what is the climate like, how bad is crime? Etc etc.....

There are so many questions.
