Why was Russia never part of NATO?
Upvote:4
This is really a question? NATO came into existence BECAUSE of the USSR. Since the USSR was seen as an aggressor in the post-WW2, bases on their behavior in Eastern Europe, some Western European and North American countries saw the need for a defense pact. The USSR applying for membership in 1954 is nonsensical as by then they had created the Warsaw pact (1951) as a reaction to that same NATO. This is basic history stuff - every schoolkid gets this in highschool.
