And Russia quickly demonstrated why Ukraine was right to want such things.

Given that the US has already been telegraphing that they want to invade Mexico I would not blame Mexico for looking at all available options to defend themselves.

Explain to me how Ukraine wanting to join an alliance that includes the US is anyone trying to defend themselves from the US.

The US couped Ukraine's government, installed a puppet regime, continuously built up a military presence right next to Russia's least defensible point (going so far as to have massive wargames in Ukraine), and violated all of the agreements that were meant to deescalate the situation. The alliance in question has only ever been used to invade and demolish countries that dare not kiss the burger reich's ring despite that alliance ostensibly being for defense against foreign aggression.
