History is irrelevant, past "personalities" of countries do not define how they will act in the future.
NATO is a defense pact. NATO is not what Putin is scared of, that's just a convenient name that groups together the countries that he percieves as the "source" of the threat.
Putin is fully aware that NATO presents absolute zero military danger to Russia.
The only reason he hates it, is because each nation that joins, stops worrying about appeasing him, because membership significantly reduces fear of russias military power, and hence his influence over that country.
What he is scared of, is progressive western culture. Gay people and trans rights movements give him the heebie jeebies and he doesn't like that stuff coming closer and closer to russias borders, where imaginary lines on the map do nothing to stop the spread and intermingling of culture and ideology.
Russia isn't at war to survive. It's at war because Putin is mentally stuck in the 80s and can't handle social progress.

That is the same reasoning the israeli fascist use as an exuse about the bad muslims they genocide, interesting.
And this even more:

These thugs beat up a woman's rights march, imagine what they would do to LGBT.
As if you genuinely care and not something to validate your racism, Russophobia and aggressive fanaticism.
Had enough of you.
You can join Azov, Sich, Tornado, Safari or any of the many fascist batallions, you will find likeminded people there.
oooook then
