On May 23rd Belarus engaged in "state piracy" by seizing a Ryanair flight from Athens to Vilnius. Two of the passengers onboard, Roman Protasevich and Sofia Sapega were wanted by Belarus. Under the pretense of a false bomb threat attributed to Hamas, authorities forced the flight to land in Minsk and took the two. Casey, Cole, and Noah discuss the implications of this incident.
