Misha Kalhin: Belarus' Government Hijacks Ryanair Flight I 232

Belarusian comedian Misha Kalhin joins the show from his possible new home of Yerevan, Armenia to update the guys on the latest madness coming out of his home country. On May 23, Belarus' government sent a MIG Fighter Jet into the air to intercept a Ryanair commercial flight that was passing through Belarus' airspace on its way from Greece to Lithuania. After forcing the flight to land in Minsk, Belarusian authorities arrested journalist Roman Protasevich who had been living in exile after helping to coordinate the protest against Belarus' occupying dictator Alexander Lukashenko. Misha helps us dig into this story and lets us know why he may be moving out of Belarus soon. Follow Misha Kalhin at http://mishakalhin.com/.
