I've read it. Some sources in there are interesting, but the material itself is completely disconnected from reality. In the sociopathic game of geopolitics, NATO expansion has certainly destabilized the balance of power and incentivized Russia to assert itself (and its claim on its former colonies). But you cannot compare countries forging military alliances, and a country invading another country... it's a completely different kind of escalation.

If anything, your article confirms that Putin is a colonialist bully just as much as NATO is in other parts of the world. It's just russian propaganda and does not account for mischief and imperialist ambitions on the part of Russia. If you want a more nuanced source, i'd recommend checking out Glenn Greewald's Twitter feed: it does a great job to denounce the hypocrisy of western powers, while at the same time acknowledging that invading a sovereign nation is always wrong, no matter what.

If Putin is a madman colonialist bully to you, NATO has succeeded in brainwashing you. Caitlin is not detached from reality, you are. You are okay with NATO invading Russia and surrounding it with Aegis missile system, but Russia protecting Donbas citizens from Ukraine is madman dictator shit. To you, Zelensky, who has a 25% approval rate and jailed the democratically elected Poroshenko and banning opposition media, is not dictatorship, but Putin is a madman. You have been convinced by NATO and its controlled media.

Greenwald fell off long ago after the Snowden saga. When Ukraine was attacking and killing Donbas citizens for 8 years, where was this resistance and media hullabaloo? Or is it selective Cold War bias going on?

Putin's actions, not words, have convinced me. No one has invaded Russia. Russia has invaded Ukraine. You cannot talk fast enough to change the facts.

Do not worry, NATO propaganda is falling apart so fast in real time, with the SWIFT sanctions in place, it is just a matter of time. Probably a few weeks or months till the revelation of Iraq war style propaganda is admitted, it has already begun.
