What "thunderous response" do you suggest?

Casus belli [unfortunately, I've not yet figured out how to do basic HTML tags in the comments] generally want war as the response.

Perhaps another response would be to simply identify where Protasevich and his lady are being held, and simply go in and get them. The humiliation that would inflict on Lukashenko--and Putin--might be sufficient response.

We always can go to war tomorrow.

The question at hand is a simple one: Is the West—if that remains a valid term—willing to do anything about this outrage beyond the symbolic and the rhetorical? Now in my opinion that’s a question asked and answered. But I’d be glad to learn—with evidentiary support—that I’m being unduly cynical.
