Belarus Threatens to Join Russia Against Ukraine
Belarus has been Russia's ally from the very start of this conflict. However, it had been in a rather indirect way by aiding with the transportation of Russian troops. However, now the threats are of direct military involvement if Russian territory is hit by any Ukrainian missile or artillery shells.
This unprovoked sudden aggressiveness by a neighboring country against one that is being attacked, reminds me of how Carthage's neighbors always attacked whenever Carthage was weakened by its wars with Rome.
Another similarity is Russian attitude toward Ukraine in which it seems to be seeking the total depopulating of the nation or the cessation of its existence via the demolition of its cities and towns. It seems t be the identical attitude that Rome had towards Carthage after the Second Punic War when Rome demanded that the entire population abandon the city and relocate inland because the city was to be totally destroyed. .

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
