A British drug dealer was nicked and sentenced to 13 years prison (he may be let out after 6,5 years if he behaves well), after he uploaded a photo of a block of Stilton cheese held in his palm to Encrochat (the resolution of the photo was sufficient to identify his fingerprints and associate him with other drug deals!)

Belarusian regime claims that Hamas wanted to bomb Ryanair that was saved by Lukashenko personally. Today minister of transport read a letter from Hamas to Belarusian Minsk airport about bombing. They did all of that with serious faces... ))))))) #belarus #hamas #repression

#Ryanair is "sincerely apologizing to all affected passengers for a regrettable delay". What is a kidnapping if not a regrettable delay huh #Belarus

Belarus, breaking. 

According to Robert van Voren, it wasn't just one person taken off the plane: "It is now reported that six people were taken off the plane, 2 Belarusians and 4 Russians. Looks like a FSB operation".

No source for now, but this is van Voren we're talking about. facebook.com/vanvoren

Belarus authorities intercepted a Ryanair flight from Athens to Vilnius with Mig-29 and forced it to land in Minsk. Immediately after landing KGB forced into the plane and arrested Belarussian journalist Roman Protasevich.

Oh and I just noticed there's actually a Russian movie "Пан или пропал" (2014) based on a humorous crime novel by Joanna Chmielewska, a Polish writer.

Next on my watch list, then...

Just noticed a funny Easter egg in "The Interview" (2014), at 1:38 they're escaping in a tank that has "Пан или пропал" written on it. The phrase literally means "Either lord, or loser", a proverbial expression describing a risky choice ending in only one of two extreme outcomes.

The word "пан" (pan) originates from Polish where it's mostly uses as a formal variant of "you" (a bit like "sir") and since Soviet times it's mostly used with a smirk.
