maybe Russia would not be so aggressive if NATO wasn’t adding nations after the fall of the USSR despite the Bush administration promising that not a single nation would join NATO after the cold war ended?

maybe?

adding nations

yes, NATO is popular

countries want to join because they know Russia is a warmongering menace

so, Russia has no one to blame but itself for NATO's popularity! LOL

Maybe NATO would not be adding nations if Russia weren’t invading and annexing territory from its neighbors… such as Georgia (2008), Ukraine/ Crimea (2014)…

Maybe ?

Only about 25% of NATO countries meet their spending commitments. Now that’s dedication to freedom! LOL

not true! There was never such an agreement In fact, just the opposite, it was and is understood that NATO will continue to grow as it just did with Finland joining (Sweden will join soon as well)
