Then no one will be able to save the dictator from the people’s wrath.

Can Lukashenka send the Belarusian army to the war in Ukraine? The kp.ua website asked Ukrainian expert on international politics Taras Zahorodny about this:
— Lukashenka’s main task is not the war in Ukraine, but the preservation of his power. It is he who tells Putin “fairy tales” in order to get another handout from him.
Putin, of course, again persuaded him to participate in the war. But participation in the war in our country means the political and physical death of Lukashenka. It is known that he conducted an internal survey in the Belarusian army. And received a categorical “no”. Belarusians do not understand why and for what they should fight in Ukraine.
Second. The Belarusian army is not the Russian army with its contract, where death is part of the agreement. Belarusians simply do not understand this. One regiment of Kastus Kalinouski, which is fighting in the hottest spots in Ukraine, is professionally higher than the entire Belarusian army combined. In addition, the army and special services are the guarantors of Lukashenka’s dictatorship. And if they are destroyed in Ukraine (and this is a fact!), then there will be no one to protect him within the country from people’s anger. And he understands this perfectly well.

Loony might be loony, but not that loony. He knew all along that getting involved in the war would mean the end of his army and the end of his rule. Now, an invasion from the north would be even more suicidal than in February 2022.
Ukraine should have entered Belarus once they had liberated the Kharkiv Oblast. Luka is as guilty as Putler for invading Ukraine, and should have been removed.
My words all along. Taking Belarus would’ve been easier than trying to get through the lines in the south and southeast, saved men and material, and reaped a few other benefits.
