Yeah sure, state funded terrorism does not affect you until it does


>don't mess with Lucashenko and then you can fly over there just fine

the world is full of Lukashenko-s. We've all been critical of Saudis/MBS for example. What happens if your plane unexpectedly lands for some technical reason in Saudi Arabia and they check your internet postings? I'm pretty sure that that Internet criticism of MBS is a crime in SA. May be they wouldn't touch a US citizen, yet they would have no issues with a Russian, or any other shithole country, citizen like me.


So today we are making excuses for authoritarians kidnapping opposition members, huh.


I think that majority of HN readers, being from US and Europe, don't realise how many people from the shithole countries actually think like that and don't see anything wrong with this statement.

And yes, I'm using the Trump's derogatory words here. I was born and still live in such a shithole country, and I'm incredibly angry and at it and this shithole mentality that shapes reality around me.
