Learn some history. NATO originated because Russia (USSR) installed the Iron Curtain across Europe AFTER reneging on its treaty commitments to the WAllies to hold free and democratic elections in the countries it conquered in Eastern Europe and the Baltics during WWII. NATO was a reaction to Stalin's bad faith in 1945. The expansion of NATO since the fall of the USSR is a reaction to Putin's bad faith in the 2000s. Russia's neighbors have good cause to doubt Russia's promises of non-expansion. How bad is Russia's reputation if Finland and SWEDEN want to join NATO and even Switzerland is apparently considering it. All three nations were resolutely neutral during the Cold War. NATO had nothing to do with Korea, it was founded 4 April 1949, the DPRK didn't invade the ROK until 25 June, 1950 nearly FOURTEEN MONTHS LATER.NATO's origins are the Korean War. It has a capitalist mentality that constantly sets, the repels, its own limits. An intimate relationship to the schizophrenic process.
