  1. @Joe,

    Hahaha – I needed a good, almost spit my diet coke everywhere laugh this afternoon! Thanks for that!

  2. As much as I am laughing at the comments above, I’m going to throw in a serious comment. Diverting around airspace does not punish Belarus. It just wastes fuel. The necessary step is to ban flights by the Belarussian airline from entering/landing in EU airspace. We’ll see if the glorious leaders have the cojones.

  3. If they started doing warrant checks at the airport, Spirit would be out of business in two weeks…..followed by Frontier about a week later.

  4. @Joe – you are a micropenis-rocking little b!tch of a worthless human being. Eat sh!t you QAnon worshipping lowlife twat.

  5. @JosephN _ It won’t punish Belarus (frankly I don’t think anything short of a serious threat of military intervention would do that, and we all know that won’t happen), but that’s not really the point. The point is that if an airline avoids Belorussian airspace, Belarus can’t pull a stunt like this. If they send an armed fighter jet into another country’s airspace and force an airliner to divert to Belarus, that would likely be seen as an act of war. That’s a risk Belarus can’t take. It won’t punish Belarus, but it will protect against a repeat of this incident.
