"brave, smaller country, that was resisting that autocrats subjugation, just to keep those videos from being released, given that even your most fervent supporters couldn't stomach you raping young girls, and your minions had done a sloppy job of covering up your past misdeeds.

A hypothetical leader is described as unpopular, economically destructive, and accused of rape, swindling, and a close relationship with a know pedophile. An autocrat from a crumbling country allegedly holds video evidence of the leader's sexual misconduct with underage girls.

Sloppy cover-up efforts are noted and there is fear that even ardent supporters would reject sexual crimes against minors. The situation is portrayed as provoking deep moral disgust among decent people.
