Putin knew exactly what he was doing in any case. Stopping at all the right places.
Putin may have had some good reason for fearing this since, as I remember it, there was some other nation that was suppose to be off limits but was granted membership.
Can you see the build in propaganda right now for the break-up of NATO.
Putin figures he has but a short time left to do his damage using Trump.
It will get worse yet before Trump is out on his ass.

NATO has said specifically that Georgia & Ukraine will become a part of NATO. It's not like it's some kind of useless pipedream lol They're in the accelerated MAPS joining process now.
Expansion of NATO
"After some debate among members at the summit, NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer declared in a press conference that Ukraine, together with Georgia, would someday join NATO."
Regardless, yes, it's going to get much worse before it gets better. Putin wants to get as much as possible out of lame duck Trump before he totally loses what little dwindling power he has left.
