NATO is mean to Russia because the US calls the shots at NATO. Why is the US mean to Russia? because the US is a hegemonic power based in North America, which is comparatively small in population, natural resource and overall economic potential compared to Euroasia, so US could not possibly maintain its influence around the world if powers comparable to the US in economic might and nuclear power arises in Euroasia and able to assert local hegemony in key parts of euroasia. Russia as the power at the center of Euroasia and able to dominate central asia, eastern Europe and land route between europe and Asia has undeniable potential to be the king maker in Euroasia.
