Russia Ukraine war, page-222610

That's what you hear from Russian propaganda channels day in day out but the fact is NATO never threatened Russia. They were even open to Russia joining NATO and Putin nearly did if not for his ego. Putin came to power in 1999 over Boris Nemtsov by igniting Russian expansionism/imperialism and held onto power by starting wars in Chechnya, Georgia and Ukraine(2014 Crimea and 20220.

Russia will eventually join NATO after Putin primarily to hold China back and to hang on to outer Manchuria she stole from China in 1885. What norms NATO will have on that is yet to to know.
