It certainly is towards Russia directly. Are you seriously suggesting NATO would start an aggression against Russia?
And are you suggesting any of the countries that have joined NATO did so hecause they were coerced by the US and not because they were really desperate of being in an alliance to protect against Russian aggression? On the other side the Warsaw Pact nations were desperate in being in there because they were longing for Russian protection, right. I guess thats what those tanks in Prague and Budapest were for too.
Anyhow even if you follow Russian propaganda, the aggression against Ukraine directly caused another NATO enlargement. That would not have happened without that aggression. So either Russia es lying about its motivation or actively working against its own security goals.
