This argument doesn’t make sense. Even if you do accept that NATO is not purely defensive because of what happened in Libya, blaming NATO for Russia invading another country that isn’t in NATO makes as much sense as me blaming my brother John for the fact that my other brother Robert was beating his wife, and then violently taking it out on John.
And that’s ignoring the reason NATO is expanding. It expands when new countries decide they want to join it. And countries at present are wanting to join it because they feel threatened by Russia. The reason for its expansion is Russia’s aggression, so to turn back and blame NATO for Russia’s aggression is completely backwards.

I wonder why countries bordering Russia want to join NATO
After what NATO did to Libya you might wonder why Russia doesn’t trust NATO.
NATO didn’t intervene in Lybia, it were just some NATO aligned countries.
If NATO did intervene, it would have included ALL NATO countries. As is the point of their pact. If one is at war, they all combine forces.
Since plenty of NATO countries abstained, it is therefore no NATO intervention.
But you rather spew Russian disinformation, don’t you?
Not sure who asked them to.
And how did it turn out?
How did what turn out?
NATO’s intervention in Libya? Things haven’t been great for them, if you haven’t noticed.
What does NATO’s intervention in Libya have to do with countries bordering Russia wanting to join NATO?
NATO intervention in Libya was not defensive, which means NATO is a security threat. Surely you see that?
