It is intrinsically within human nature to exploit and conquer weakened peoples.
Good examples:
Golden Horde Khanate
Rape of Nanking
Greek, Armenian and Assyrian Genocide by the Turks
New World Neo-Colonialism and Genocide/Concentration Camps of Native Americans
Gallic Wars
Uyghur genocide
King Leopold's Belgian Congo
Rwandan Genocide
etc.
Nevertheless, in this scenario, NATO is simply leveraging its assets and satellite states (e.g. East European countries with American military presence) in strategic positions to keep Russian presence/expansion to a minimum with American muscle.
“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.”
- H.P. Lovecraft

Those are not my words. Those are the words of highly respected and regarded former Marine officer Carlton Meyer.
On one hand, you have Carlton Meyer with his respectable career and experience. On the other hand, you have Longbowman with his respectable career and experience at Apricity. I have to give it to Carlton Meyer.
