"Pushed by the CIA" is just pure conspiracy theory. Eastern European countries don't need to be pushed, just like Finland and Sweden didn't. Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014 and have been funding East Ukrainian separatists almost from the start.

Putin has made it very clear many times, dating back before Crimea that he wants to Make Russia Great Again. THAT is the reason for all this, not the BS agendas Russian trolls and their henchmen repeat and which people like you believe. This is pure imperialism, nothing more. All the rest is just stuff they invented to justify the war. Just like the Shelling of Mainila to justify starting Winter War.

And there has been no negotiations about NATO anyways, so your point is wholly moot.
