Fury over “state piracy” as West weighs action against #Belarus
Was anyone arrested on the Morales flight? 🤔
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
Do I really have to spell it out? Not sure if you're taking the piss here.
Once you've cast your stone, there is no non-hypocritical reaction (other than “ah you've got us there lad” which obviously nobody is going to say in public). That is the whole point I'm making.
> ah you've got us there lad
Define "you" and "us". How does actions of France in 2013 justify actions of Belarus in 2021? Does it mean that nobody in France can today condemn arrest of Protasevich? Nobody in EU?
Are people in Belarus allowed to condemn this arrest? In Russia?
Where's the boundary of who can condemn it - or not - per your tribal logic?
