So Two Minutes Of Hate towards Russia is over in this aspect? Very Orwellish.

What are you even talking about? Are you suggesting that "the West" has a too negative public opinion of Russia or China?

I would argue that interactions/treatment specifically toward Russia, especially by European nations in the last 20 years, was actually too positive and naive-- specifically because unlike Europe, Russia definitely did not leave its imperialistic ambitions behind, and treating/trading with it as a friendly somewhat flawed democracy during those years might have done more harm than good in hindsight.

I'm curious how you think about this?

Just yesterday on the front page there was a topic largely consisting of accusations of Russia breaking these cables. Now I see a sudden switch of the "criminal" and a possible start of a new 2-minute of Hate. It's very Orwellish indeed.

Did you even read the thread? It was captained by a Russian, and CN is a Russian ally.

The Kremlin may very well be behind this.
