Anyway, I think NATO disagrees with you, considering the attempts to whip up an anti-Russia 'Feindbild' in Europe and the US in order to justify continuation of its existence.
NATO is a bureaucracy, and bureaucracies don't want to die, even if they become useless.
Although... Russia may not be militarily threatening to invade Europe (anymore), but the economic block that would arise if Russia would join Germany economically is actually a big threat to the American Empire at the moment, as it was for the last more than one hundred years.
And that's the actual reason why Russia is villified so much, in order to keep Eastern and Western Europe politically and economically separated.
