Putin's position is not as secure as it might look he has a circle of associate's that he relies on quite heavily and his support from the military is declining as anger grows about their budget's. If he gives the order to invade it has to be a quick campaign for him if they get bogged down and losses start climbing he will be in serious trouble. If he invades and suffers no opposition from the west he will move onto the Baltic states and currently in military term's there is not much chance of NATO being able to hold them.

The west urgently needs to boost it's defence spending and expand existing forces as a Russia looking to reconstitute the soviet union is a definite threat at this point.
