The cognitive dissonace hits hard on this one, how dare you join a defensive pact!
They assert it is not a defensive pact, and that NATO will come for them as soon as they are powerful enough.
Sadly, that's not really something that can be disproven, so it's great propaganda.
The fact that NATO could have utterly destroyed the Russian military at any point since shortly after the end of the Soviet Union handily disproves it and the further fact that most NATO countries let their militaries atrophy after the break up of the Soviet Union also disproves it. Great propaganda doesn't need to be rooted in truth, just establish an out-group who cause all the problems and hold the in-group blameless.
