Putin Using Belarus As Invasion Launch Shows No Respect Fr International Norms!

This is a small point but I think it is telling about the deterioration of Vladimir Putin of today compared to the Vladimir Putin of ten to twenty years ago. It should be shocking to people that Vladimir Putin sent Russian troops stationed in the country of Belarus into Ukraine through these two countries shared border to participate in the Russian invasion of Ukraine specifically to attack Kyiv. How could a Russian President disregard and subjugate the national interests of the country of Belarus for Russia's interest in such an egregious manner. Belarus allowing their sovereign territory to be used as a launching pad for an invasion force attacking Ukraine is an act of war against Ukraine, it doesn't matter that it was another countries invasion force the concept of conspiracy makes the country of Belarus fully liable. Fortunately for the people of Belarus's the country of Ukraine doesn't have long range missiles but if they did this act by Belarus of allowing their country to be used as an invasion launching pad against Ukraine would justify Ukraine firing missiles at the Belarus Parliament and the homes of the leaders of the Belarus government.

It was obvious that President Putin was threatening an invasion from Belarus with his joint Russian/Belarus military exercises over the past two months but it is one thing to threaten to get your enemy to have to defend against such a move but it is a completely another thing to disregard the important interest of one of your allies and use their sovereign territory to conduct a war. The Vladimir Putin of ten to twenty years ago would not have done this move and hurt his and the country of Russia's interests and reputation like this. In the future any Russian allied country would be leery to have Russian troops on their soil or to conduct military exercises on their soil with the Russian army fearing the Russian Army may attack one of their enemies from this soil and exposing them to military reprisals. It is completely shocking how Valdimir Putin would damage his reputation in such an important manner like this! People throughout the world need to ask themselves what else is this deteriorated Vladimir Putin capable of?
