NATO, or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, was formed in 1949 as a collective defense alliance among Western countries in response to the threat posed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. However, the Soviet Union itself was not a member of NATO, and its borders were largely defined by its own sphere of influence in Eastern Europe. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, several former Soviet states and Warsaw Pact countries sought NATO membership for security against potential aggression, leading to NATO's eastward expansion. Thus, NATO's relationship with the Soviet Union was one of opposition, rather than direct bordering or membership.
The US didn't form it, the Soviet Union did. But it was formed mainly in response to NATO.
The Soviet Union's version of NATO was the Warsaw Pact. It was a collective defense treaty signed in 1955 by the Eastern Bloc countries, which were under Soviet influence. The Warsaw Pact aimed to counter the influence of NATO and to maintain political and military unity among its member states.
