Russia is desperately attempting to develop a buffer zone between itself and NATO using an entire vassal-state such as Belarus to act as a sacrificial region in the event of an extremely unlikely NATO incursion.

We all know how it will go down though if shit hits the fan: Russia will literally allow the destruction of Belarus in order to develop a contingency and rally what's left of their dogshit military to defend their oligarchs.
