The only things forcing countries to join NATO are the aggressive invasions of countries like Russia.

They either get invaded (see Crimea, Chechnya, Georgia, …) or join the defensive alliance of NATO so they get to keep at least a semblance of individualism.

NATO wouldn’t be needed if Russia kept to itself.

If you want forced regime changes, just look at all the territories before they were invaded by Russia.
