That's not to say I don't think sending Putin a message by making an example out of Lukashenko would be a bad thing.
I understand and don’t disagree, but at this point I’m not especially interested in what Putin’s perverted mind thinks and I doubt it’s even possible to send him a message (that he would consider).
Let’s do what will save Ukrainian lives. I’m more concerned about what we do for them and what message it sends to them. And for those who are interested, there would be something of military aviation interest in that.
