This is Russophile garbage and ignores a whole slew of sins against the Russian people perpetrated by their autocratic and paranoid leaders going back to the Czars. Stalin killed millions of innocent Soviets. NATO is a defensive organization and expands through Peaceful negotiations and Cooperation, not violent conquest. In fact, Russia's blind aggression in Ukraine completely vindicates NATO as necessary and of course it EXPANDED NATO with peaceful Sweden and Finland so get real. There is NO EXCUSE on Earth for Russia's behavior toward their father culture.
