Be that as it may, the "Somebody else got away with it!" line is not a valid defense for anything.

I'm not defending the callous behavior of Belarus. I'm just pointing that the UE/NATO criticism of it is shamefully hypocritical. Both are equally wrong in my eyes.

Monkey see, monkey do. It's not a defence, it's just the nature of the beast.

If you don't want the monkey to do something, you better make damn sure he doesn't see you doing it first.

It actually is, if you are tacitly saying "and we will let them them get away with it again, and again, and again…" but "these other guys you must help me stop".
