Episode description
At least 2,000 Middle Eastern migrants spent weeks trapped at checkpoints between Belarus and Poland—unable to legally enter the European Union and, until today, unable to return to Belarus or go home. Former US Ambassador to Poland Daniel Fried joins host Brian Hanson on Deep Dish to explain how Belarus' strongman President Lukashenka weaponized these migrants as a tool of "hybrid war," and why Russia's President Putin looms behind this crisis—and others—on Europe's doorstep.
