If he strikes NATO directly it becomes open season on Russia proper. Putins not stupid enough to do that unless he gets a pact with China and at least a few 3rd world counties like Brazil. That's very unlikely to happen.

If he can't win a proxy war he can't win a direct war.

But there is absolutely no reason to think he isn't throwing everything he's got at Ukraine.
