What are you basing that on?
Nobody knows how much the Kremlin does or does not support Putin, or even if anybody has the ability to "overthrow" him. Sure doesn't seem like the will is there as of yet. It's pretty terrifying and I think it is a huge mistake by NATO to let any other members in,
especially countries bordering Russia. All you are doing is feeding this irrational paranoia and serving justification to Putin to frame such moves as "western aggression" and parlaying into his story about Russians needing to fear "the west". It's them against the world now, right? Only one way out. Stupid of NATO.
