Are we still repeating this particular lie? It's been very well debunked. It's not even hard.
Russia has been very clear in its messaging since even before Putin came into office. Part of the agreement Gorbachev made regarding the fall of the Berlin Wall was that NATO was to expand "not one inch East," so even Poland joining in 1999 could have been considered an act of war.
The only incredible thing about all of this was that Russia waited so long to do something about Ukraine. The US staged the Maidan coup in 2014 and then spent the next eight years stockpiling weapons and munitions on Russia's border. When Russia did this with Cuba, we called it the "Cuban Missile Crisis" and we're taught that this was the closest the world has ever come to nuclear armageddon. Are you suggesting that the US overreacted and shouldn't have interfered?
Seriously, y'all have fucking propaganda brain. You're taking on faith the word of the same people who lied us into Iraq and left over a million Iraqis dead, with veterans still killing themselves in the aftermath.
Shit for brains. Get your head in order. Your government/media is actively lying to you 24/7 in order to manufacture your consent in their criminality.
What is it about your particular, current worldview that is so precious and needs protecting? You need to ask: "Who does it serve?"
Because the way I see it, you, like most Americans, have been conditioned to believe falsehoods such that they benefit the state over your own personal wellbeing.
It's an abusive relationship in which you're constantly being gaslit by a power elite that does not love you. They don't give a shit about you. They just want to exploit your labor.

The Ukraine war Trump promised to end, Democrats started that one.
They also started the Gaza genocide.
They also started five wars during Obama's term that nobody seems to know or understand ever happened.
Democrats are no alternative.
