NATO provoked Russia by continuing to exist after the USSR collapsed along with NATO's professed reason for existing. It also did so by expanding into former Soviet countries after promising the Russian leadership they wouldn't.
This behaviour put booster rockets on Russian nationalism, which was on the ebb in the 90s, and actually paved Putin's road to power.
Your efforts to paint the Western globalists as the good guys here are not grounded in reality.
The only expansionist superpower for the better part of the last century has been the US. It is only in the more recent decades we've seen China come into their own.
And Russia with Chechnya, Georgia, transnistria, and recently Ukraine. Since almost all of those have now become defacto part of Russia. So far I have yet to see a new star added to the American flag with the Iraq state there...
Because adding a new state comes with responsibilities. Much better to leave them as vassals. That way you also avoid the annoying voices of the veterans from PR that can be abandoned as 'non-americans' when it comes time to pay them benefits.

Well, Russia provoked all the other countries by continuing to exist...
Russians are globalists. They keep provoking other countries. I proved it.

No you didn't.
This is a provocation.
And how many of those bases has a vehicle come out and invaded Russian airspace and territory lately?
Oh you forgot the latvian and Lithuanian bases. Since we are counting nato bases as American.
