Protasevich, as far as I heard, openly called for actions which would be considered criminal in any western state (of course you don't hear about that from your "free press)". For this purpose he was possibly in contact with the western "secret services".
I wonder how the west would act in a similar situation. Remember, Smowden WAS NOT in any kind of contact with Russia, and did not call neither to unlawful actions neither to violence against politicians. Still the plane of Morales was forced to land, and if Snowden waas there, he would get a treatment probably worse than that of Bradley Manning.
But above all, I don't understand why you think you have any right whatsoever to tell others which governments are good or bad for them.
And to all those who tell "we must react", ask yourself if you are prepared to die for "democracy in Belorussia". Because this is where it might end if you don't uderstand that the only place you do have the right to choose the government for is your "land of the free". So called , that is.

You should be very careful making statements like this. The United States jumped into two world wars that were thousands of miles away from its shores - and those were in periods of history when "isolationism" was considered a popular virtue.
Generally speaking, Americans are judgmental, moralistic, and bloodthisrty. This can be a force for good and/or evil.
