NATO is a defensive network...not offensive.
NATO is all about stopping Eastern aggressive expansion. Russia and China both have repeatedly annexed nations.
There's a major difference between defensive weapons and offensive military weapon systems.
For Russia to tell another independent nation what peace treaties they can or cannot enter into because they once were an annexed nation and treated to Russian genocide....well it speaks to incredulity.
So there is definitely a huge game of semantics and the sheer ignorance of Americans in use by Russia and OPEC nation's propaganda.
