You are wrong. NATO never “pushed eastwards”.
It was Eastern European countries begging NATO to accept them as we were watching Russian nationalism and imperialism growing back under Putin, and his dogs publicly threatening to re-invade Poland and Baltics when were dared to change fucking street names in our own towns, remove fucking Soviet monuments or dig up bodies of people killed under Soviet occupation and call them victims of Soviet occupation! All of that predates any NATO membership by years.
So if someone threatens you, you do whatever you can to prevent the threat, and that’s precisely why everyone who could joined NATO in Eastern Europe.
@kravietz “re-invade Poland”, lmao, I can’t wait for them to make a single step on allied country’s territory
They broke all military teeth on some poor Ukraine (Kiev in 3 days, anyone?), regime about to fall, on every recent videos Putin’s hands are shaking and his voice stuttering, but ok 
@AncientGood
Well, now we know that. Before 2022 most military experts preferred to be on the safe side and assumed at least Russian army is capable of something… But I was talking about the pre-NATO times for Poland.
