He wanted to join the axis

Only after being rebuffed by a West more interested in appeasement throughout the 1930s. Stalin knew the USSR was ideologically opposed to both the Liberal Democracies and the Fascists of the time, but couldn't fight both should it have come to that, so he was looking for allies or at the least, a non-aggression pact.

The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact is also not the Tripartite Pact, which is what created the Axis powers.
