This looks like Russian propaganda to me. It's a long-standing Russian claim that the invasion of Ukraine was caused by NATO actions. Who is this "Jack Murphy"? Search says there are multiple Jack Murphy's, including a clothing retailer, a sportswriter, a murderer, and a right-wing "influencer". I have failed to locate any others, except on this blog, where he says he is an investigative journalist. So who wrote this?
