#Belarus #Hijacking #EU
International norms? That a fake bomb threat ,that’s a crime.
And an act of war.
@nunya biznez Act of war towards who?….
@Chad Bradley the Opposition?
@Horizon Eyes They opposition doesn’t have a military nor government. “Act of war” is bad wording.
@Chad Bradley No, “Act of war” is actually the perfect wording. The airplane belongs to Poland. Under international law, using a military jet fighter to intercept and force down a Polish aircraft in midflight can be viewed as an act of war against Poland (“can be viewed…” because it is up to Poland to decide how to interpret the action).
Since Poland is now a NATO auxiliary member, NATO is required to support Poland if Poland decides that Belarus committed an act of war. Therefore, if NATO were to invade Belarus tomorrow morning, they would have EVERY JUSTIFICATION to do so, under international law.
So yah… Act of War.
Free Speech!
Freedom of the Press!
Justice for Human Rights Violations!!
Peace in the World!!
Our best wishes, prompt, and safe release of this Honorable Man!
From the United States of America
From a Mexican born, where in my own home country we have long had journalists disappeared and found murdered in record numbers for reporting truths!🇲🇽🇺🇲
@Bazooka Joe how?
@Bazooka Joe No they don’t, who told you that?
Look at the way our most recent past President and many u s politicians berate the press and freedom of speech – unless it’s their speech of course 😜
This guy gets it
Is this todays diversion? What happened to that one yesterday that was so important? Click on the red icon to the left there, watch a short video, leave a comment.
We should send our best twerkers, to the Belarus border, to strike a little fear into them…
@Kobra I’m a combat vet, served 12yrs so take a guess whether I’m strapped or not…
@Alan Peters OK hipster soy boy. Have you grown b00bs yet?
@Alan Peters ok? with that mentality you fit in more with dictators.
@Alan Peters So what you really mean is you’re a teenager who’s balls just dropped and now you think your the man talking smack online
@Alan Peters Liberals are the real fascists.
If Russians know about this, they are no more likely to board a plane that flies over Belarus than I am!
You know you screwed up when the rest of the world gives you a metaphorical spanking and your big brother country just kinda whistles and backs away
Only looks like they are whistling and backing away from the outside, behind the scenes (like here on YT) they are out in full force.
@rac sto I know, but sometimes trying to incorporate every detail into sarcasm can ruin the intended effect.
– “You know you screwed up when the rest of the world gives you a metaphorical spanking”
What a (typical) silly comment. Perhaps you have problems understanding what “metaphorical” means and doesn’t mean. Perhaps you also have a suggestion what would have been a good and feasible “non-metaphorical” course of action. This is one of the things that’s wrong with today’s world: people talking a lot about things they understand little about, and not wanting to see the trouble of fact-finding and thinking to understand more. It’s all about experiencing quick emotional reactions, and suggesting simplistic and unrealistic practical actions to soothe those reactions, or when you can’t get even that much done, you just suggest that the chosen course of action (or seeming immediate inaction) is a proof of stupidity, incompetence, lack of caring or bad intentions.
Literally brain dead how they thought this would go well
What more do you expect from the filth of man. As they see the defenders of Democracy turn their backs on their own people.
This is one of the few times I’m in agreement with the MSM. That’s how bad this is.
The foreign states may become actively involved for positive purposes only if and when the internal resistance movement has already begun shaking the dictatorship, having thereby focused international attention on the brutal nature of the regime.
The real question is will he be saved or forgotten and killed and/or forever imprisoned and tortured. Hopefully he gets freed.
Glad we have a president that will condemn this crap unlike the Khashoggi murder…
And Biden gave Germany her Putin Pipeline which Germany’s former Prez’ GerhardtSchroeder helped get (he works 4 Putin’s Gasprom)…So, you can COUNT on Deutscheland to talk out of both FORKED tongues.
Aka, talk a good game & be f’in USELESS as an ally.
Just watched on Russian news they are claiming the same as Belarus news such a dictator communist countries
I guess I’m not visiting my friends in Belarus anytime soon….
Lol “MSNBC doesn’t talk about China” … I just searched YouTube MSNBC and china and first video that popped up was from a couple weeks ago saying something like “china poses most difficult threat to us democracy” lol. The gaslighting here by Russia is too real.
Maybe next time don’t fly criminals through the airspace of the countries they are trying to terrorize?
All I know is, if Joe Xiden and EUssr leaders don’t like it, it must be good for the world.
My friend in Belarus was arrested simply for taking photos during protests. In the end they let him go but confiscated memory card. Belarus is a nice place to live in general but only if you comply with government 100%.
The eu’s just using him !
This is like something out of a gene sharp book
