Shoulda abolished NATO in 1991.

Indeed, he wanted to, and he might have done so.
Thing is, from 1991 on, nato has been treating Russia as pretty much an enemy - fighting them in every conflict - military and financial.
The man had no choice but to look for his own.

I thought the point of nato was to check russia. How could russia join nato?

Doesn't NATO exist solely to counter Russia?

why would Russia join an alliance that was created to defend against Russia?

He also wanted closer, friendlier ties with the EU still in the early 2000s, but the Western hardliners were stuck in Cold War mode and hated anything Russian.

To work internally to dissolve it. Or possibly create a more public globohomo.

As long as the NATO exists, we are stuck in a perpetual cold war. That's by design.

NATO was created to fight the USSR. After USSR fell it should have treated Russia as a friend, but they kept treating them as an enemy leading to this situation.
