World view is over rated. Nazis had similar sociology root with Communism. Nazi Germany and Soviet still went into deadly war, while Soviet and US/UK worked as allies though with vast different world views.Its not cannot but wont reach Nato countries as we have similar views for the world and we have no intention to fire missiles towards any nato country.
it means NATO members trust India. i.e have no reason to be threatened .India due to its non alignment policy has one of the most stable relationships with both the mid west and western countries .
Also apart from usa we can reach all other NATO members .(not taking submarines into account of course )
Politicians never trust politicians. They only "trust" those who have no means to threat their power spheres. That being said, it is simply rhetorical in the talk of threats or friendship to suite their need of political maneuvers. Vietnam dumped China in favor of Soviet despite Chinese support in their war against France and USA. North Korea did the same thing. USA dumped Taiwan when China's support against Soviet was needed. Only friends can betray friends. When Soviet was weaken, USA quickly turned the pressure on China. Remember how fast USA posted sanction on India?
I would say, make the best use of any political friendship you can get but don't get carried away. More importantly, never expect it will last. As a country, if they don't see you as a "threat", you are probably not powerful yet.
