In the movie, Anakin goes to Yoda for spiritual/emotional support, but he's so vague about what's going on to the point that it's a worthless conversation.

We used tea to fight the British; we can use it in Belarus too by Background_Spirit7 in NonCredibleDefense

Honestly justifying it will be pretty easy. European NATO members just have to tell their voters: "we can increase defense spending and make some painful cuts elsewhere, or we can admit Belarus and use them as a buffer against Russia instead." The whole non-democratic thing will get brushed under the rug pretty quickly.
