YES!
Very Much so. He opened up this without too much of a threat from the west.
The invasion is harming the people he claims to want to protect: the ethnic Russian Ukrainians. So, he doesn't care about people or even his country.
Additionally, he is trying to distract from the fact that his troops are getting hit by Ukrainian resistance (https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-europe-60542877). Western militaries have been training the Ukrainians on how to resist a Soviet/Russian attack for ages. The OUN resistance never went away.
But this desperate gamble will backfire on Putin. He is forgetting that war led to the collapse of the Tsar, Soviet Union, and will be his downfall as well. The mutiny may already be happening, but the rest of the world should not put their bets in a successful coup against Putin right now (https://londonlovesbusiness.com/belarus-military-officer-declares-mutiny-against-putin-and-lukashenko-saying-its-not-our-war-and-tells-troops-to-stop/)
