Definitely sending Vlad a public message now.
Why announce this publicly?
We've been doing this since the beginning. There are no other reasons to have AWACS just hanging out over Poland, and we have published some satellite imagery that was helpful.
At this point, the other side knows you are doing it, you are just sticking a finger in Putin's eye telling him we pointed Ukraine to the position of their pretty little boat.
I'm not sure that is a good idea either, honestly.
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms … disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes… . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”
--Thomas Jefferson
