Where is the threat from NATO? After the annexation of Crimea, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine, Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Moldova are very scared. Kazakhstan is purposely busing ethnic Kazakhs to the border with Russia so that Russia cannot justify seizing Kazakhstan's land as "ethnically Russian". Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania all have large Russian-speaking populations. Poland borders Russia, where Russia stations it's Baltic Naval Fleet and many ballistic missiles. Moldova is still locked at impasse over Transnistria, which still has a fond memory of the Soviet Union and is pro-Russian. Georgia has lost territory to Russia multiple times and some of its towns and cities are still slowly having Russia steal land from them.
What right does Russia have to tell Georgia, Ukraine, Poland, Moldova, Latvia, Lithuania or Estonia what to do? Should NATO deny them membership if they ask to join? Why?
What about Russia's military industrial complex? Russia is the #1 weapons seller in the world. It's economy is dominated by oil and the sale of weapons. Russia's politics are controlled by oligarchs and money.
This narrative of "The USA and NATO are the evil aggressors" only holds water if you completely ignore anything and everything Russia has done. Russians have such a fragile ego, they can't stand to look in the mirror.
