That's why I asked you this question.
In Ukraine, Putin clearly wanted Crimea that was strategically important for Russia.
What's that he wants in Belorussia, that he'd be willing to proceed with any "incursion"?

It's their choice to make or not make.

Correct.
But you sound as if it's definitely a very attractive choice, that no one would reject.
However now, when Belorussians are looking at Ukraine's experience, they are already not in a rush to jump on this chance.
Otherwise practically everyone would vote against Lukashenko.

Belorussians and Russians have no choice.

When they have a choice to sit under their respective suppressive governments or to go in slavery to IMF, that's not really a great choice either, as Ukrainian experience is showing us.
So the REAL choice that they should have to begin with, is to change things in their own countries ( or rather their own country, since really - Russia proper/Belorussia/"Russia minor" ( aka "Ukraine") - it's all one and the same country.
But THIS was difficult to achieve until recently, precisely for a reason of a predator being out there, pulling the financial strings and setting traps of financial slavery.
I am pointing at US/IMF of course, because this kind of traps serve the direct American interests both in financial and geopolitical sense.
However THIS factor started changing recently with American "left" going bezerk.
This implosion of US ( and preoccupation of US government with internal problems - add Covid there,) will give an opening for the RUSSIAN LEFT to emerge on a scene and to make the necessary changes/adjustments in the government.
This way the playing field will be leveled, and with that, Russians/Belorussians/Ukrainians will finally have a choice for real, whether they want to stick to the values of their own culture OR they want to serve money ( i.e. the US.)
But whatever their choice will be, it's going to be made on a personal basis, without pulling the rest of unwilling into the next "Maidan."

Its those in power who gain from nothing changing who make the decisions however it suits them. People who have nothing to gain don't care, but younger people do (If I believe what young people were saying in Minsk)

Correct.
Kinda.
That is if we'll come to a logical conclusion that at least PART of the Russian government sitting in Kremlin in fact works for the US interests while transferring funds abroad, on offshore accounts and so on, instead of using them for development of the Russian economy.
And THIS creates problems for Belorussia and "Russia minor" ( aka Ukraine,) that need the resources of "Russia proper" to work in unison with other parts of the same continuum.
In fact, it creates problems for "Russia proper" as well, keeping in mind the growing conflict between Moscow and other regions ( Khabarovsk is the recent example of it.)
So yes, if I can pinpoint the "problematic knot" here, it's located in Kremlin.
But in order to get rid of this knot, the US needs to get busy with its own fake ( and crazy)
"left," to back off from Europe ( which it will,) and to let RUSSIANS to get busy with their own internal changes ( bringing THEIR "left" in Kremlin, to control those sabotaging Russian national interests first of all.)
THEN and only THEN can we start talking about "people's choices."
