I don't really know what make NATO more or a "threat", other than it being strictly a military alliance, whereas the EU is an economic union and defensive pact. Both are alliances in practice that require automatic mutual defense.
Why is one more of a "threat" to Russia than the other?

One involves the US and one doesn't would be my guess.
