No, all this does is highlight a problem that the general public simply hasn't been paying attention to. Diplomatic relations between Belarus and the US broke down in 2007-2008, and neither country has an ambassador or an embassy. We've had sanctions against them since 2004. Belarus is an autocratic, Putin-supported state. In the larger scheme of the Putinsphere, this Ryanair incident is actually pretty tame. Putin is having people assassinated on the street in posh tourist shopping districts in the UK. Yet when that happens no one says anything.
