"Lukashenko Slept Under The Bed"

A dictator, by nature, is a coward.

Lukashenko is trying to project a "macho" image, but the Belarusian dictator is, by nature, a coward. Lukashenko is still afraid of the “ghosts” of the events of 2020. Where do the dictator’s fears stem from?

The Telegram channel “Nick and Mike” wrote that many of the Belarusian dictator’s phobias are linked to his childhood:

— “Of course, there was a lot of bullying when I was a kid.” Rumor has it that sometimes he even had to hide in trees. In the village, he wasn’t well-liked. They didn’t always let him play soccer right away. But Lukashenko was stubborn and waited for his chance to join the game when one of the older kids left or something else happened to the main players.

Many of Lukashenko’s current phobias stem from his childhood.

“Nick and Mike” also shared a telling story from the ’90s that perfectly characterizes the dictator:

— Lukashenko was spending the night with members of his staff at the Yubileynaya Hotel. Well, he was so afraid that he might be shot (the paranoia he lives with) that he slept under the bed. In the most literal sense of the word: he threw a blanket on the floor and slept right on it. Fortunately, it was summer and hot. That’s what a “tough nut to crack” he is.

The story has been confirmed by several eyewitnesses to the events.

The Telegram channel also reported that after the successful operation involving the Mossad “pager”—when Hezbollah militants were blown up— Lukashenko began to fear landline phones:

— Paranoia has intensified not only regarding mobile devices but also landline phones. If mobile devices are a threat from the West, then landlines are a threat from the East. The threat from the East is far more real, by the way.
