Setting off screams of protests from the Baltic midgets. The loudest screams coming from Lithuanian Midget in Chief President Gitanas Nauseda, to whose Capital Vilnus the Ryanair Jet carrying a Belarusian Wanted was headed. Roman Protasevich appears to be a Wanted man in Belarus. That is to put it mildly. Belarus Air Marshal Lukashenko considers the mischievous blogger Protasevich an extremist and threat to Law and Order, and as such had placed him on Wanted Terrorist List.

But he only blogged, some will say. That is no consolation to Sheriff Lukashenko who is likely to as equally point out that the pen being mightier than the sword makes a blogger terrorist an even greater danger than the lone bomber.

This all reads like something from Ian Fleming's James Bond series, with Alexander Lukashenko as villain.

Anyways it was unfortunate for Wanted fugitive Protasevich to have not taken extra care to avoid Belarusian airspace. Or maybe he was unaware his Ryanair flight path took him within the clutches of Air Marshal Lukashenko. Whatever was the case, the flight did not make it to Vilnus. A blood curdling cooked and loaded Mig 29 escorted the Vilnus bound plane to Minsk into the waiting arms of Air Marshal Lukashenko, who promptly took his prey into custody.

There's no talk of FSB yet. So it is not clear if Russians assisted Belarus in this anti Terror operation or not. To be fair, I must add that the view from the Baltic midgets is different, there it is denunciations of air piracy. That is to be expected from the Baltic midgets. All Putin has to do is sneeze in the Kremlin and the Baltic midgets will raise WWIII alarms.

Anyone has any updates on Sheriff Lukashenko's anti terror operation?

Lukashenko is an idiot.

It's a blatant violation of international law. The plane went from one EU country to another. The EU is going to be super pissed about this.

I cannot agree with you more. I am surprised Lukashenko allowed himself to stumble into such a quagmire

[Ganeshas Rat]

Yep. Hijacking a civilian plane is some new level of the rock bottom.

[Rancid]

Not only that, but they fakes bomb threat to get the airplane to divert.

Lukashenko is the terrorist in this story.

Lol this time Lukashenko is in deep shit. Something has to be done. Unless all international flights have to be diverted around Belarus. It is hard to imagine that when you overfly Belarus expect occasional flight disruptions so Lukashenko can conduct searches

[Rugoz]

Begs the question why Lukashenko felt the need to pull off this stunt. Maybe his position isn't as secure as it seems.

^ This. Lukashenko has alienated and outraged the entire EU just so he could arrest an internet blogger, whom he might now execute as a "terrorist". Lukashenko doesn't exactly seem relaxed and laidback, secure in his control of Belarus.

[Rancid]

Is the death penalty really on the table for this blogger?

[Potemkin]

He's been categorised as a "terrorist", so yes. It's on the table. He even told a fellow passenger, "They will execute me here," before he was led off the plane.

[Red_Army]

Maybe some bloodletting will get him off the hook from all those massive protests last summer. It seems to have worked for Bibi.

Lukashenko is an untrained tyrant. He never took Tyranny 101. If he did he would have been made to memorise this astute observation by Jean Rostand:

"Kill one man, and you are a murderer. Kill millions of men, and you are a conqueror. Kill them all, and you are a God"!



Lukashenko is gonna bring down more wrath and sanctions on his head for nabbing blogger Roman Protasevich than if he followed your blood curdling prescription on the streets of Minsk.

Indeed. Lukashenko has given the victims of his tyranny a face and a name. This makes it real to people, most of whom can only understand things on an individual level rather than a mass level. The death of one man is a tragedy, but the death of a million men is just a statistic. And Lukashenko made this unforced error just to nab a nerdy internet blogger. Lol.

[Red_Army]

It turns out this blogger was shot in the chest while fighting alongside the Azov battalion Another western hero!

Exactly. You articulated much better what I had in mind. It definitely was an unforced error by Lukashenko. The name Roman Protasevich [or something like that] was unknown till now, thanks to Lukashenko it may go global, thanks to the publicity.

[Beren]

It definitely was an unforced error by Lukashenko.

I wonder if it really was. He could have been forced to do it if Red_Army is right and the guy fought alongside the Azov Battalion. Then Putin may have been interested enough in capturing him, in my opinion the Russians just hunted him down. He didn't get poisoned, so we don't have to be guessing if who did it at least.

However, this seems too much even to the Trojan Hungarian government.

Interesting! This fellow is a citizen of Belarus and was in Ukraine fighting alongside the Azov Battalion? So far it has been all about him being a blogger. A comrade in arms with the neo Nazis of Azov battalion changes the picture of a harmless blogger.

The only ‘evidence’ for this claim seems to be a photo on the front cover of Black Sun from 2015 of a soldier in the Azov Battalion who supposedly bears a slight resemblance to our famous blogger. Personally, I’m unconvinced.

According to himself and their leader he was with them as a journalist for a year, I wonder if that was enough for the Russians to go after him, besides him being a prominent opposition figure in Belarus. Regardless of the relationship between Putin and Lukashenka, I'm sure the Russian and Belarusian intelligence agencies cooperate a lot in such matters.

They probably regard him as a sympathiser of the Azov Battalion, given that he was an 'embedded' journalist with them for so long. He certainly hasn't done himself any favours by doing that, but he doesn't seem to have fought for them; he certainly doesn't look the type to be a neo-Nazi mercenary. Lol.
