I have no clue how important dancing is in the Turkmenistan culture. Somewhat more than here, apparently.
It did look like they might benefit from more practice however.

This is what happens when your police force is homophobic.

This Andrei! I am Yakov! Now is the time on 'Ashgabat' when we dance!

Not nearly as intimidating as the Haka or the show that the Indian and Pakistani soldiers put on at the border.

Candide म्हणाले...

You can’t steal the joy of this man. Cory Booker he’s not.

Jokah Macpherson म्हणाले...

For context, he’s the son of the previous ‘president’ who just stepped down after a 16 year term. I’d be dancing as hard and enthusiastically as I possibly could, lest anyone notice otherwise.

rehajm म्हणाले...

Turkmenistan? Isn’t that near Irktusk?

PM म्हणाले...

I love our world.
esp those officers' hats which are maybe immenser than North Korea's.



R C Belaire म्हणाले...

@ PM : Yeah, the size of those hats must be compensating for something.

rehajm म्हणाले...

There’s some Rockettes, some Laker Girls, a little hip-hop. Could be worse…

Temujin म्हणाले...

Hilarious. And to think some of us were questioning Gen. Lloyd Austin's new Woke Military. No one loves a dancing infantry more than I, but I did not think the world was ready for it. I may have underestimated the rest of the world.

Next, I want to see the chorus lineup from China.

Kim Jong Un looks on and thinks, "Amateurs!"

That pic before the video rolls- a car parked way off in the distance and a mile of carpet means nobody thought to drive him up there in the car…

Patterns big in Turkmenistan

finally, somebody our new woker Army might be able to beat if we got to go first

Dave64 म्हणाले...

Is this from a Mel Brooks movie. Reminds me of Springtime for Hitler.

Howard म्हणाले...

Don't worry Drill Sgt, they'll send in the Marines first.

Derbyshire for years has unhesitatingly correctly pronounced Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov, the previous President. His son Serdar is a lot easier.

A couple of hours of practice was necessary but there was a big payoff through a dozen years of podcasts claiming intimate friendship with the man.

When I see Police get down I want to see the iron in the air, Truncheons, auto pepper balls, heat, all juggling from front to back. They used to have tv shows of Army squads in class A's spin tossing their M14's with bayonets up and down the file.

Wince म्हणाले...

De-fun the police!

Narr म्हणाले...

Ooh, you military fairies! Pythonesque.

So stoneface is the son of Gurbanguly, he of the big gold dog.

NYC JournoList म्हणाले...

I visited Ashgabad in 1983. The chai was very good. Not a lot to do then. Saw no dancing but did ride a camel.

Ach soo the glean of Nehfertix, bairn of the horx of carnix. Xhe who canas bairn the ultansos. Ares dexta theen sax nanrah!

Narr म्हणाले...

That's exactly what I was thinking, Josephbleau!

What does it mean?

Josephbleau म्हणाले...

It means little, to those who don't care. I have said enough.

ken in tx म्हणाले...

I sees it as sloppy close-order drill. Maybe they got the idea from the Movie 'Stripes'.

Volodomyr Zelensky can do his own dancing:

Somehow brings to mind Evelyn Waugh's observation in one of his war books that in the Romanian army only the officers are allowed to wear lipstick.
