@Archie8 Highly unlikely. Putin is vicious and evil, but there’s no evidence he’s stupid or irrational. It couldn’t be blamed, even domestically, on NATO. Russian history demonstrates that Russians will put up with a lot, but when they turn on a leader they turn hard and fast. Putin will be devoting increasing amounts of energy and resources securing a way out for him and his wealth. I expect he’s got a lot of calls into Tehran.
