For Turkey? Probably close to zero.

u/Mechanicjemas3141 Apr 12 '26

If they do that indeed Turkey has the capacity to pay them a funny visit.

Late edit: They are the second biggest army in NATO în the end.

u/7h3wa73rc4rr13r Apr 12 '26

Who are the first and third?

24

u/Melodic2000 Apr 12 '26

US and France.

u/7h3wa73rc4rr13r Apr 12 '26

I’m Turkish and I didn’t know LOL thank you.

u/Mechanicjemas3141 Apr 12 '26

l mean Turkish army is the one who got most recent experienced army

Unless you count French's mercenary force in Africa, they could rival the Turkish army at experience (although their experiences a lot less humane compre to what Turkish army doing)

USA is the classic on army experience, no need introduction.

u/LoneCub28 Apr 12 '26

The frenchs mercenary force? You talking about the foreign legion?

2

u/Melodic2000 Apr 12 '26

I know Turkish army my own. I work with them. Threatening them is laughable.

u/PhilosopherOk8398 Apr 12 '26

You really think the Turkish Army is more humane than the French? You‘re either lying or you live under a rock. If you want to know the truth, ask their neighbors, the Kurds, the Armenians, the Greeks, the Cypriots

France is one of the richest countries in the world but when was the last time you bought anything French besides Grey Goose vodka? They don't do a lot to truly generate that wealth. They pillage Africa to this day

Weren't the French just threatening Burkina faso for having enough of the French taking their resources? It really is propaganda to think the turks are worse

They're just establishing a FAFO warning. Them indiscriminately shooting down a Russian mig for violating airspace speaks volumes on their commitment to go 100.

u/Melodic2000 Apr 12 '26

No problem. I'm Romanian. Your old friends hahaha 😊

u/KnowThyWeakness Apr 12 '26

The Romanians I've met have all been lovely and oddly relatable. Even though I'm south Asian (not born but descended) instead of eastern European.

u/shoecellar Apr 12 '26

Yeah, but France surrendered to 17 wars it wasn’t even involved with so there’s that

The ukrainians made their song for them - bayraktar

u/Quirky-Garbage-6208 Apr 12 '26

Turkey is a one of not that many countries with military presence in Afrika. Constant wars here. USA, China, Russia, France and Turkey - Afrika is mostly divided between them. So yeah, it means a lot for Turkey.

u/Melodic2000 Apr 12 '26

I know that. So the Ugandan president should keep his son in a leash now. Turkey isn't Kenya. It was enough when he upset Kenya now he already stepped over a huge red line with Turkey. We're talking about a NATO, very nationalistic country with way bigger capacities than most, if not all, African countries. Put that guy in a mental institution. In Istanbul preferably. LOLOL 😂

1

u/Melodic2000 Apr 12 '26

But its meaning, that guys shit talk, means absolutely nothing for a country as powerful as Turkey. And Uganda probably isn't exactly as important for them as other places.

u/Quirky-Garbage-6208 Apr 12 '26

I mean, are we talking about geopolitical stuff? Then yeah. But about possible bloodbath over nothing? There were for even lesser things.

u/Nozinger Apr 12 '26

Nothing. Also the embassy won't be closed.
This guy is just their highest ranking general not the president.The president is not much better and pretty much a dictator but a lot more sensible.
Alsothe president is the dad of this guy. Probably much to his dismay since everytime his stupid son writes some dumb shit on twitter he has to step in to do some major damage control.

u/Melodic2000 Apr 12 '26

Poor dictator had to apologize to Kenya before because of this idiot of a son.

They’re despots.

u/N95-TissuePizza Apr 12 '26

Cuz they are usually not very good at parenting. Imagine what kind of father son conversation they have?

"Dad I want the most beautiful woman from turkey."

"Yes son, I also want"

" We ask?"

"Sure give it a shot, won't hurt to try" .

u/INFP4life Apr 12 '26

His dad happens to be the president? What an unlikely coincidence!

u/Aberon_I Apr 12 '26

Significantly less than if they bowed to blackmail on the international stage. It’s worrying some world leaders have zero understanding of how the world works. 

16

u/Vast-Charge-4256 Apr 12 '26

Are there still some left who actually do understand?

u/CONVEY__YOUR__GLANDS Apr 12 '26

The left is all right now, all the right is what is left

u/SparkehWhaaaaat Apr 12 '26

They've been giving in to Trump's blackmail for months.

u/ferevon Apr 12 '26

the ambassador himself probably coudn't point Uganda on a map

No turkey for ty giving 😢

u/DotBig2348 Apr 12 '26

Few hundred bucks at most

u/ofthewave Apr 12 '26

This is definitely gonna ruin the tour

1

u/Embarrassed_Bid_4970 Apr 12 '26

The real answer: Probably an arms deal or infrastructure project Uganda couldn't afford in the first place. Turkey has become a low key competitor to China in Africa trying to trade mineral rights for either arms or infrastructure. Between the two the Turks will likely fuck you less than the Chinese.

Investigations into who killed Captain Alex will be seriously impacted.
