Your analysis is accurate in one sense but inaccurate in another.

Correct; Putin had an issue with NATO expansion.

But the reason this was an issue for him is completely missed (or deliberately ignored) by people like yourself.

The fact that NATO is a defensive pact IS the problem.

Because if a country joins NATO, that means Russia can’t invade it.

Putin’s wet dreams all revolve around restoring Russian glory and territory. He’s also said this publicly, too.

And that is why NATO expansion is such an issue for him. Any other narrative is absolute hogwash
