I wasn’t taught that they weren't part of Asia either. It was referred to as the Indian subcontinent instead of South Asia. Just a different emphasis.

No he is not.

Maga is a fascist movement and the feed on cruelty

Actually, I felt my grade school geography curriculum was good but at that time Indian migrants weren't on the U.S. radar like they would have been in the U.K. with the huge South Asian demographic. Plenty about India and Pakistan was taught but in my case anyway classifying them as part of Asia was missing. As they are so distinct not sure that's such a big deal. Consider Israel. Most people think Middle East. That fact that it's geographically in Asia changes what exactly, except to win the prize in a quiz game.

Deli Boys. Good fun.

Yeah growing up in the U.S. never heard of South Asia but lots about Southeast Asia. India was viewed as it's own thing. Probably a racial thing as well seeing Indians as very different than Chinese. etc. I was well into advanced adulthood before I learned that Israel was part of Asia! Not to mention all the different "countries" in the UK (ha ha).

That's distorted. They specifically say do not become a tax resident there if you're wealthy. I agree. So only 6 months a year

If I had been there, I would have said that. Yes I've been researching Colombia for many years and am very familiar with all the better known youtubers. I like Life With David but it's obvious he's one of those "seek danger" types. He goes places and does things no normal tourist or expat would intentionally do for clicks. Your post is rather distorted as to what I said. I wasn't suggesting Colombia. I was suggesting looking specifically into ARMENIA Colombia. I would also suggest looking into MANIZALES and BUCARAMUNGA. But Armenia is big enough with a population of 400K not a small town. Manizales in the same coffee region has a much better variety international restaurants. Bigger shopping available in Pereira the biggest coffee region city but I wouldn't suggest living there. The latter two are bigger more sophisticated cities than Armenia but all three are relative safe for Colombia. Armenia has an airport but bigger one in Pereira. Would not suggest Medellin, Bogota, or coastal cities. At home would you go into a dodgy neighborhood alone at night? It's more like that. You learn what's bad. In Armenia the entire North Side is richer and safer vs. the less so South Side. So you live in and hang out on the North Side. Not rocket science. Think Chicago. Yes short of going there, I've gone as deep as possible. If you want to PM me for research suggestions about it, you're welcome. Colombia has great advantages over those other places you mentioned: Very low financial requirements. Path to citizenship. The best health care scheme I have ever heard of for expats in a lower cost country. No issue with preexisting conditions. France is also great for that but not a lower cost country. Do whatever you want. I am only saying IF I wasn't basically more or less "stuck" in Thailand and I was new to expatriation, the first place I would go to for boots on the ground exploration is the coffee region of Colombia, specifically Armenia.

LIES!

If they haven't murdered García already, it won't be long. Garcia is not a gang member, not a terrorist, and was deprived of due process before being disappeared. Any American who thinks this is OK aren't real Americans in my book.

In effect the exact same situation. India is not a place to live permanently visa wise if you're going there to retire unless Indian background or by marriage.

That's completely different.

You just said only 180 days annually. That's not a retirement visa replacement

Some details to add about Colombia. Option for permanent residence or citizenship after five years No language requirement if older. Global taxation. Not remittance based. Not a big problem for modest income and wealth. If you're very wealthy and or high income avoid being a Colombia tax resident Better perks health plans available if you start before age 60

Definitely sarcasm.

No. The topic is corruption of the Trump regime. Nobody is saying that the Chinese are saints, but kindly stay ON TOPIC.

There is no such thing as an "assassination cult" directed at Trump but it's classic maga cult tactics to project on others what they are.
