Yick, that guy is a senile ignoramus who often loves to be the buzzkill when guys have great ideas to put into action.
I ripped you a new asshole long ago when you gave misleading info about residency in Ukraine. It's true I'm no expert on Paraguay, but given how you f***ed up so badly with Ukraine, about which I do know quite a bit, I wouldn't trust your ideas here either.
If someone wants to truly emigrate to Latin America, to the point of being willing to give up USA citizenship if forced in the future to choose (because dual citizenship non longer permitted), then probably no risk of having citizenship by residency revoked. But these scammy multiple citizenship by investment schemes are another story.
(And yes,
@yick, Latin America has a long history of populism targeting foreigners. Taking away sole citizenship from a full-time resident, indeed that's unlikely. But taking away dual citizenship from a foreigner who hardly spends time on the country, another story. And don't tell me that would make no economic sense, since Latin America needs foreign investment. Economically stupid is never an obstacle to populists. See Venezuela and Argentina currently, and just about every LA country at some point in the last 70 years.)
You mentioned Paraguay passport giving access to Russia. It's easy to get into Russia as an American, though getting the 3 year muti-entry visa does require some minor expense and delay up front. If Russia ever imposes a block on American citizens, dual citizenship with Paraguay will not help, since Russia will ask about dual citizenship, since such a situation would presumably be tantamount to a new cold war. God help you if you lie in such a situation. So what's the point of that Paraguay citizenship, versus just getting a Russian visa as an American? As usual, your thinking is half-baked.

I wish he would just stick to his rental wife (a street prostitute in Ukraine) and just leave the big boy matters to those of us who have more world traveling experience than he.
Sad that you have to misrepresent facts about me to distract from getting your ass whupped in a debate. I suggest you keep me on ignore, so your don't have to be humiliated by seeing me pick apart your often poorly thought out ideas. My girlfriend is not a street prostitute, but given that you boast that you pay American sugar babies $100/month. I hate to think what those skanks look like.
I've traveling most of the year for almost 20 years, so hardly lack of travel experience. Like all the smart long term travelers, I've come to realize that tourists usually get treated much better than citizens: no taxes, almost no dealings with bureaucracy, can leave anytime I want if the situation gets bad (unless I get arrested, but then I avoid trouble). You have to be a pretty special type of moron to want citizenship in Paraguay, with all the expense and hassles that entails, when you can just fly in for 90 days as a tourist without any long term commitments, unless you actually want to live most of the year in Paraguay.
Sure I could trade my USA citizenship for one with less tax burden, but then USA taxes are not that bad, including for the wealthy (15% on qualified dividends and long term gains, nothing on Roth IRA income, etc). Maybe you don't know that because you aren't wealthy yourself. I do notice you give lots of misleading advice about money, same as you give misleading advice about Ukraine visas and sugar babies in the USA. I'm been traveling for 20 years myself precisely because I early retired 20 years ago when I became wealthy running my own business. Since then, I've lived off my investments. You've only been retired a few years and your income is mostly a government pension, your reward for sucking up for 30 years, if I'm not mistaken.
