Myth 4: NATO is encircling and trying to contain Russia map

Fact: NATO is a defensive alliance, whose purpose is to protect our member states.

First, someone famous wrote "all empires are defensive."

Second, look at where Russia's ports are. Either they get frozen in in the winter or they can be blockaded by Sweden or Denmark or Turkey or Morocco or Italy or Gibralter or Tunisia.

So this pathetic pleading of ignorance - we don't know what you are talking about is disingenuous nonsense.

You can claim you aren't going to pay in attention to a whining lunatic from a thrid rate power that has more nuclear weapons of more different capabilities than anyone else on the face of the earth, but you can't argue that he is simply misinformed and that NATO hasn't expanded to remove any buffer between Russia and NATO and that it isn't in fact encircling Russia.
