The Russians' Fear of NATO in Ukraine

There was no real movement to put Ukraine into NATO, says Peter Bergen. The Russian fears over NATO on the other side of their border were basically illusory because NATO isn't the kind of military alliance that historically has gone and invaded other countries or conquered them say Bergen. Even if Ukraine did become a NATO state NATO is purely a defensive alliance it doesn't have a history of attacking anybody all that it would do is be extending its defensive umbrella over Ukraine at the Russians feet said Bergen.
