Was anyone arrested on the Morales flight? 🤔

@kravietz

Mr Anyone, as you refer to him, was not on board. Else he'd be keeping company with Mr #Assange.

@kravietz

Let's be clear, I do not condone the action, especially as a former commercial pilot myself.

It's the hypocrisy of the reactions that gets in my tits though.

So what's a non-hypocritical reaction to what happened in Minsk?

1) "doesn't matter because in 2013 another country did something remotely similar"

2) "it was bad, but what about 2013"

3) other options? 🤔

@kravietz @0
There is a huge difference.
Do you know what international law is?
Have you heard about diplomatic immunity?
Try to imagine that Belarus forces to land presidential plane of some of American puppets.
""The president has been kidnapped by imperialism, and he is being held in Europe," he said in a televised address late Tuesday night. The vice president called for workers worldwide to protest "this act of imperial arrogance."

You didn't answer the question

@kravietz
Unfortunately the answer is sad.
They should stand in front of the people and admit that they are hypocrites and behave worse than Lukashenko.
