Why would Russia be admitted to a principally anti-Russian military alliance?
Precisely - it used to be anti-Soviet, but quickly became anti-Russian. Why? Maybe because the Grand Chessboard strategists and generals didn’t want to look for other jobs — and weapons manufacturers didn’t want to see their markets shrink. Ditto about NATO - a military organization cannot exist without at least some potential adversaries. Can’t have funding without animosities.

To defend Siberia against China, North Korea, and Mongols. Why would Russia be admitted to a principally anti-Russian military alliance?

You are confused about the purpose of NATO. It was not made to be anti-Russian, it was made to be anti-Stalin, anti-USSR, anti-communist, anti-totalitarian, anti the communist world conquest. That all ended decades ago. It reduced bit by bit and ended when Gorby took over. It collapsed when Yeltsin and co-conspirators fired Gorby and broke up the USSR.

You are still fighting Zbig's psycho revenge war when there's nobody alive now from when Stalin mass murdered. Those from Andropov, Chernenko and Brezhnev times are aged out too. Gorby is very old. Yeltsin died long ago.

We're well into the 21st century.

Stop the war now. Not tomorrow. Forget about conquering Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk. Hold independence voting in those eastern areas and let them go, like Brexit, Scotland, etc if they want to.

Move the NATO border to China, Mongolia, North Korea. Heck, it will touch Alaska!! Encircling the world in the northern latitudes at least.
