Why do you think he hates NATO so much?
Yes, their encroachment would probably bother anyone who looked at them as an adversary, and so we will just gloss over the fact that he is looking at NATO that way in the first place, but by it’s very mission NATO exists to protect the sovereignty of it’s members. Why should this be a problem?
By the way, a lot of people scaremonger about this proxy war escalating into WWiii, and I don’t doubt that it’s a real possibility, including being most probable since cuban missile crisis, but these drones forebode of a very dark future. These things are still barely out of their infancy.
Russians have a nature of being paranoid, and their history somewhat explains that(though they seem to forget their past “aggressions” esp that little 1939 thing, but I think that is just a pretext like denazification, globullhomo… this is Putin lamenting the fall of Soviet Union and the power they had back then and recognizing this is his last best hope of getting any of that back
Big palm to the face
