what a cool country
>be dictator of a nominally Muslim country
>build golden idol of a dog
Based
they really like statues, the president at least, he built a solid gold statue of himself too, along with ancient turkmen warriors
quite a Machiavellian way to tell civil servants they'll be rewarded for loyalty and dedication.
Sometimes I really wish everywhere in the world was properous and corruption free :'(
turkmenistan is a dictatorship user
they kind of look like giant action figures
Give me two reasons why this is wrong
they do look fucking cool
good for them
Yeah I can see that. So is Russia and China. Wasted potential if you ask me
1. dictatorship and corruption
2. a majority of turkmen live in poverty
3. only 15% of the country has access to the internet, which tells you just how bad it is
there would be armed guards around the statue, especially in a country like turkmenistan, if it were actually a solid gold statue. gold plated, most likely. even then I question
I'm pretty sure only america has a problem with lobbying, not europe,
This a joke? You literally have ZERO say in what happens in your country. Your president started a war that 80% of russians didn't want. Your cucked youth is going to die in it.
Give me lobbying over that any day, idc
Putin has 80% approval rating
ok but is that a heckin russian eagle?
>5 headed eagle
Mexicobros... Russian Empire bros... Romebros... Usabros... Our eagles combined can barely match a single Turcoman eagle
aren't dogs haram?
>dictatorships are.....LE BAD!
must call in austria and egypt
Gold is not edible and to be fair we're already 8B on this planet.
I kneel..
>Gold is not edible
It is.
You just don't metabolize it.
>really like your dog
>decide to immortalize it by building a statue of it where everyone can see
kind of cute, shame it's done by a retard running a failing country.
meh, not just lobbying at least in the usa
We don’t get to really pick our presidential candidates, they are picked for us. There only really 2 options, both of which suck. Plus, districts are gerrymandered so hard that you can’t even really select your state representatives. Then of course the supreme court which wields so much power is entirely unelected.
