The leader before him (Saparmurat Niyazov aka Turkmenbashi; which means "Leader of the Turkmen") almost built an ice palace in the middle of a desert, renamed months after his family, and named a city after himself. He also made people read his book the Ruhnama, basically his book of opinions that all Turkmen had to agree with. If you want to drive, you had to pass a test about the Ruhnama. Did I mention he ALSO had a golden statue of himself that rotated so that it would ALWAYS face the Sun, to symbolize that his age was the golden age? AND he was the one who spent the country's natural gas money on all those fancy marble buildings in the capital instead of on the people's needs? Yeah, his predecessor was just as crazy, if not CRAZIER than he was.

“The world's largest marble cake was made for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, for an episode on Turkmenistan's authoritarian president Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow. It is a at 600 sq/ft cake featuring an edible image of Berdimuhamedow falling off a horse, with a marble-textured frame and red trimmings. According to Oliver, Guinness World Records, which was criticized in the episode for its relations with authoritarian regimes, refused to certify the record unless the show signed a contract prohibiting it from criticizing the company. The cake was presented on 11 August 2019 and shared with the show's audience, with the remains going to City Harvest.” -Wikipedia’s article on “Marble Cake.”

Guinness public response to this episode is just epic. “We were disappointed to see the false and unfair allegations about Guinness World Records in Sunday’s episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, The piece appears to have been motivated by our decision not to participate in tonight’s show. We were asked to provide a judge to officiate the so-called world record attempt for ‘largest cake with an image of someone falling off a horse.’ On the basis that it was merely an opportunity to mock one of our record-holders, we declined. It is our policy not to partake in any activities which may belittle their achievements or subject them to ridicule”

Can you not see this for what it is? This is state propaganda. I'm sure this dictator is not a good guy, but the entire piece was an ad hominem and a straw man. John just threw in some random, non-specific dictator cliche accusations and called him a "horse fucker" for 20 minutes. My guess is a new puppet government is going to be installed and if you even hear about it, you will think, "oh is that the horse fucker's country? Glad he's gone." Instead of, "why are we violating another country's sovereignty?" Meanwhile, the empire has acquired another country's resources for pennies on the dollar assuring it's citizens are in perpetual poverty like everywhere else that we've tampered with.

Sorry Vea but that's a long established horse pun in the UK where "nay" is still used. It goes along with the classic joke A man walks into the doctor's office. What seems to be the matter asks the doctor. I am feeling a little hoarse doctor. Oh really. Well trot over here so I can take a look at you.

I’m glad this episode looks trivial on the outside, because it truly understands how to upset a dictator. Sure John and crew could go into details about war atrocities and how bad his country is, but dictators kinda like that. It gives them a scary look and they can wear their monstrous deeds like a little gold star. By focusing on the shit that makes them look weird and ridiculous, they are humanized and brought down to the childish level they operate at, the kind of “no critics” egotistical fuckery that festers when you literally kill everyone who disagrees with you. There’s a reason why dictators take care of comedians early on... they cannot stand to be mocked. And that’s not fair considering how much hilarious source material they give us to work with.

What war atrocities? You don't have a clue about the world, do you? You are thinking of arab or African dictators when you think of war. Turkmenistan is not an arab or African country, it is a small but resource-rich country in Central Asia, it is turkic, the country or its dictator haven't waged any war at anytime. Learn some geography, stupid.
