I don't think so. Putin doesn't want NATO on Russia's border. That's it.
He has just achieved just that. From a recent note:
"Finland - which has a 1,340km (832 mile) land border with Russia - joined in April 2023. Sweden became a member in March 2024. Both had applied to join in May 2022, shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine, having been neutral for decades. Ukraine, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Georgia also hope to join Nato."
Utter folly and fatal conceit from a senile delirant dictator who lost the very last connections he had with reality.

Here is a brief history of NATO:
founded in 1949 with 12 original members
When the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991, NATO had 16 members
Today there are 32 members, the alliance doubled after the collapse of USSR!

Ukraine and Georgia are redlines for Russia, not just Putin.
32 members are enough, we don't need more!
