That assumes Putin is a rational actor. He is not
The fact that three former Soviet Republics are members of NATO
The fact his inability to defeat Ukraine demonstrates he has no chance to force the -istans to rejoin.
Putin, like all Russian leaders since Napoleon, wants a buffer between himself and the West - better to fight there than on Russian soil.
. He has already (cyber) attacked Estonia and he’s been rattling sabres at NATO for years.
Do not underestimate this very dangerous murderous bastard
