Why does Russia fear NATO? Why do they fight proxy war? WW3 forced by NATO

(Stone)Russia has warned over the years that NATO anti missile encirclement is a direct threat to there deterrence capability and chips away at the balance M.A.D. affords the world. Russian military planners warn that antimissile batteries surrounding Russia could be used by NATO powers to diminish Russia’s survivable nuclear retaliatory strike capability, in the event of a first strike scenario. The concern is from studying American and other NATO powers military doctrine that such a scenario is not only likely, it is an absolute certainty, Russia is the target of a war of civilizations pushed by NATO policy. Fearing this NATO first strike Russia has worked to bolster its deterrence posture with more offensive and mobile nukes, fielding several new modern weapons systems, including the Baluga submarine based ICBM, and in the event of a NATO first strike, Russia’s submarine flees will no doubt deliver mutually assured destruction even in the face of unprecedented NATO antimissile systems. When one reads wikipedias description of MAD “The strategy is effectively a form of Nash equilibrium
in which neither side, once armed, has any rational incentive either to
initiate a conflict or to disarm (presuming neither side considers
self-destruction an acceptable outcome).” and here is the problem, NATO powers think they can win a nuclear war with enough antimissile systems and provided they strike first, they do not care if many NATO countries are destroyed in the aftermath, there goal is nothing short of the complete disarmament of the planet, and it does not seem to matter to them if it precipitates global thermonuclear Armageddon
