That's really bad. What are their reasons of banning them? Why creating enemy from a friend?

That means, these wars are premeditated then.

Russia already tried to join but USA can't allow that.

Two captains can't be in a ship. They can't veto everything anymore. See how Russia is already giving USA headache in UN security council grin

Russia will make sure NATO agree to her terms and condition for that to happen
But I doubt if NATO will be ready to agree.
The big powers in NATO will move against it.

NATO(1949) Warsaw Pact (1955)

Firstly, I think you are mistaking the Warsaw Pact for the USSR. Until 1955, the USSR was just an economic/political block. Just like the European Union today. NATO was created in 1949 as a military alliance and became a formidable threat leading the members of the Soviet Union to negotiate and sign the Warsaw Pact(a defense alliance) in 1955. So my friend NATO existed 6 years before the military alliance of the Soviets. NATO always need an enemy to retain its relevance. The EU has been in existence for sometime now, but it’s not a military alliance, if an EU army is created today, it means the EU predates it. It was NATO that wanted to create a military supremacist empire first and the Soviets responded with the Warsaw Pact 6 years later.

Yeltsin and Putin tried to join NATO with the help of Germany and France but USA and UK rejected it because if Russia joined NATO then NATO will become irrelevant.

NATO need any enemy like Russia to stay relevant.

General de Gaulle that kicked USA and Nato troops out of France was called an enemy of democracy by USA government because Gaulle said USA should not be telling Europeans what to do.

Russia joining NATO actually defeats the purpose of the alliance since it was founded to counter the Soviet Union (Russia today) and let's not forget that the Western and Eastern powers don't exactly see eye to eye when it comes to international affairs...

This guy is, very up to date with global geo-politics.

The time the russians opted to join nato before President Putin's second term in 2004, nato described the russian military as "rust and metal", President Putin's said in one of his interviews.

Now consider this excerpt as part of the ukraine conflict, from Andrei Martyanov's Blog

https://smoothiex12..com/2022/03/it-may-seem-premature-but.html?m=1

...And here comes this second part about which I write books and speak into the camera for many years. NATO (and US) simply has nothing to defend against previous generation of Russia's stand off weapons, especially of such variety as Iskander of P-800 capable to strike to operational depth (500-700 kilometers) and it will not have anything for many years to come to deal with hyper-sonic weapons, which saw 2000-kilometer range Kinzhal doing its thing to the deep underground facility, which used to be a storage of the Soviet tactical nukes near Ivano-Frankovsk, and then repeating the performance in other places with a devastating result for VSU.


Now the big question is, why would russia with a superior military technology join nato, which is basically a british and american alliance, the other 28 countries are not on the world military map, yes we know, france has nuclear weapons.
