Seems to me to be Russian policy. NATO did not invade the countries that applied to join. Those countries all knew the history of Russia and raced to protection. Some didn't, Finland chose to remain independent of NATO, that was until Russia's imperialistic ambitions became clear. Sweden is in the queue and it is galling to see how Hungary and Turkey are putting up barriers. Shame that countries can't be kicked out but seems them's the rules.
