Well Belarus are are already in Russia's pocket thanks to Putin's aid to that despot Lukashenko keeping the puppet leader in power against the wishes of the Belarusian people, as for the other 3 countries they are members of NATO and unlike The Ukraine would be under the protection of NATO, depends on how brave the thug is I suppose.
