Is it clearly true, and hardly a hot take, that the CIA has a history of overthrowing governments and generally fucking up countries and the US relationship with them.
Is it true to represent all the Colour Revolutions as being solely CIA-manufactured and deny any agency on the part of the people in those countries who risked (and many gave) their lives to try to create a world where there were free and fair elections? Less so.
The Colour Revolutions were mainly popular movements in what Russia likes to claim as its sphere of influence. It very much suits Putin to have a US-defector pushing a line that all their ills are the work of US spies, and that the Ukraine invasion was the result of that interference, rather than just failed imperialist hubris. If Biden was Putin, Snowden would be having a Nakatomi Plaza moment round about now.

I didn't get this from the tweet at all, but fair enough.
