The current NATO expansion happens only because those countries are scared of Russia. Also, by definition, NATO exists to fight Russia.

[przyszlem]

This is not true, NATO is a defensive pact. Only russian propaganda says differently

[JacobiX]

I think that NATO was founded after World War II, largely due to British efforts to contain the Soviet Union and its influence in Europe ?

[Vilian]

true, but nothing there say that russia cat't apply to join

[danlugo92]

Except the "no/minor corruption" requeriment...

[weebull]

They can apply. They'd be refused on that and many more grounds.

[LtWorf]

Then there should be no country in NATO.

[thiagoharry]

This is western propaganda. NATO were used to attack Yugoslavia and Libia. Attacking 2 countries that did not attack you looks offensive, not defensive, to me.
