The Forest and the Trees

It's been a while since we've checked in on the battle between Donald Trump and Turkmenbashi for world domination, but I think we have to put another win in the 'Bashi's column.

Trump has never come up with an idea so grand, so visionary as foresting the desert. Really, trees are the only thing that missing from Turkmenistan. Trust the 'Bashi to implement a plan to rectify the situation.

Thanks to Registan for the RFE/RL link.

Yangykala Canyon would be vastly improved with the addition of a few cedars, don't you think?

Actually, I don't think the news is true. Even if it were, why should it make news?

Nice picture, though. This must be somewhere in SW, perhaps, next to Sharlowuk.
 
It's more N. Central/North West, I guess. At night, you can see smugglers crossing the steppe of Kazakhstan from the top of the canyon.
 
Ashamed to admit I know this, but Trump's show, "The Apprentice" has a Russian on it. Supposedly a biznessman from Moscow (but who isn't these days?). Maybe that's going to be an in-road for him to the former Soviet Union.
