US didn't force anybody to join, countries in eastern europe applied to join because that meant they were less likely to be bullied by Russia. Look at what happened after Russia invaded Ukraine - both Sweden and Finland applied to join the alliance. Do you blame US for that too? It's Russia's aggresive stance towards it's neighbours that caused the expansion of NATO.
