    Fun fact: Lukaschenko said the sentence "Better to be a dictator than being gay" to the foreign minister of Germany, who was at the time Guido Westerwelle, who was actually gay.

    "If we don't sell all of these bears, I'm in real shit." And...they're completely sold out less than 12 hours after this episode premiered.
  • Hi John Oliver, I'm one of the pilots. Happy to see you liked our stunt. Remember the love goes to the belorusian opposition for their constant resistance!!
  • @SneakyMuffin
    I can't get over that protester's casual "Well, it feels like shit" in that accent. It's just perfect.
  • As a Belarusian, i can tell you that people did not "unleash their fury" and this wasnt about Covid at all. It was about abuse of power, corruption, election frauud, and killing and torturing the innocent which continues to this day. Protesters were never violent, police was. And yes, that Stephen Seagal carrot photo op was pure comedy since day one.

    "Well, it feels like shit" — мost Belarusians absolutely agree with Kirill
  • @surfingshewolf
    I think the journalist who stood "cake out" in the freezer in London found an ingenious way to make sure that viewers never forget the fact that Lukashenko tortures dissidents by forcing them to stand naked in a "stress position" in the freezing cold. 🥶 😆
  • As Belarus has decided to side with Russia in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, I find myself coming back to this video saying “Yeah I’m not surprised.”
  • @nnannakalu9423
    "Well, it feels like shit." An understandable sentiment likely shared by many Belarusian denizens.
  • @R2debo_
    So good to see him back in the studio again
  • @draconious4005
    Man, I wish this piece was done recently. Then, we’d have such classic moments as, “told a state journalist interviewing him that Putin wants to make him (Lukashenko) a colonel in the Russian army”, or, “went on live TV and gave out the whole invasion plan for Ukraine”.

    I love how Seagal isn't just there, he's dressed like a bad kung fu movie villain too
  • JO: He's been in power for almost 30 years. Me: Oh so like since the 80s or something. JO: He came to power in 1994. Me: :o

    Watching this a week into the Ukraine war, and I was immediately like "that's not Belarus, this is Belarus"
  • @irenemax3574
    John Sweeney may not have needed to stand there naked, “cakes out” but his report had a much greater impact because he did. He is a brave and heroic man.
  • @NLWerner
    i'd avoid Belarussian airspace for a while John
  • @humanoidcat9633
    A huge thank you to everyone who participated in creating this piece, people of Belarus really appreciate your work
  • @MaiAolei
    To be fair, my imagination would not have done justice to how unsettling that picture of cold torture turned out to be. It painted a vivid and stark picture and will stick with you every time you hear Lukashenko's name.

    Nearly half a year later, and this video has managed to become more relevant. Glory to Ukraine
