I'm very sceptical of all these sorts of things, but even if it happens the danger is less from their military — it's tiny, ancient, under equipped, and no serious threat — but rather from 1) enabling Russia to use their territory again to expand the front, and, 2) Russia having fed them nuclear weapons, presumably to deter Polish involvement.

@rhys there were a lot better opportunities earlier in the war for Belarus to join, or for the Russians to go through their territory again
