Muhoozi Kainerugaba, son of the President of Uganda and Commander of the Special Operations, said that they would cut off all diplomatic relations within 30 days if their problems were not resolved, by attempting to threaten Turkey.

Expressing his support for Israel, Kainerugaba stated that the Ugandan army was ready for an operation. He described Israel as "Holy Land" and expressed their ability to provide military support.

Kainerugaba expressed that he demands at least $1 billion from Turkey for a possible settlement, and also said that he wants the most beautiful woman in Turkey as a wife.

Dear Turkey, I would also like a billion dollars and a wife? Please tell me it wasn't as simple as that all this time?

Just include proof of your status as a warlord of an area commanding billions in natural resources, along with two forms of ID.

My yard does have a surprising number of trees.

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have big leaf aspen, quaking aspen, white aspen, maple, oak. Not in that order. Then witch hazel and black cherry, not the good kind, in the understory. Which are very small trees, a few pines, a couple of strong stands of all Pines, white pines, a little spruce but all the Pines in the deciduous forests are sickly and they die for no apparent reason. Also a couple of one off Burch and Beach, The Birches sickly, the beach is strong but not much of it.

That sounds beautiful. I just moved in a few months ago and have no idea what I have, but I know part of the lot is forest overgrown with kudzu. I daren't venture in.

If they're mature and you can find someone to illegally cut them down, /r/treelaw has taught me that you might actually have millions in damages :)

Did I mention I THINK there's crude oil and gold underneath the trees?

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ah well, no lawyer will touch that, then. Prepare to be invaded. 😰

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Eh, I'll take what I can get these days.

No problem, I have GIMP installed.

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The only GIMP I am familiar with is the people I accuse of being Generally Important Maga Players?

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago

Well you should download the GNU Image Manipulation Program instead.

I'm cheaper! I'll do it for having my student loans paid off, my house paid off, and some spending money; I don't even need the wife!

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No need for a wife, just the billion dollars will do. Or I will support Israel by upvoting posts.

[–] birdwing@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 days ago

I've standards, no thanks. If I had to choose between a billion for praising the anti-labour Israel, or nothing at all, then I'd rather the latter.

I can help you with being a wife. Having one and also 1 cool bil has to be taken care off by someone else tho.
