“Did NATO orchestrate Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2014 and force Russia to illegally annex Crimea? “

Ukraine wasn’t going to be brought into NATO and you know it. It does not now meet nor has it ever met the conditions for admittance into NATO. Moreover, admittance into NATO requires UNANIMOUS consent by all NATO members; and there is no way Ukraine would get that (hell, Turkey and Hungary alone would not assent to it).
