    The same argument can be used in favor of Russia. NATO has invaded plenty of countries under false pretenses in the past. Both Russia and NATO do not have a reputation for keeping their promises.

        Unironically yes, NATO members have invaded a lot of places, often in coalition with other member states.

          That’s like saying Canada is responsible for something Mexico did because they’re both on the same continent…

          NATO is purely a defense agreement.

            It is more like saying the axis is known to invade nations because its member states invade nations. Okay, sure, Germany and Italy invaded the soviet union but Japan didn’t, you can’t say they’re not a defensive alliance /s
