Ah yes, famous invasions during the 90s. Where NATO expanded a shitload after promising not to.

Also your knowledge of these events is lackluster. Gerogia attacked Russia, not the other way around (one couldsay Russia over reacted, but that does not change the fact who initiated hostilities). Chechnya was a civil war (a country can't invade itself). Crimea seceeded. So all of your examples are wrong.

Oh and Russia asked to join NATO in the eaely 2000s. Got denied.

IF you want to go further back it gets even better. NATO was founded before the Warsaw Treaty Org, the latter was founded after the USSR asked to join NATO and was denied.

You are correct that NATO is a anti soviet/anti russian alliance, but not for the reasons you think.
