Rusofobia started in middle ages, long before Putin was born. And it never ended.

> Some of it is also caused by the pervasive hostility to the values important to most humans,

USA started with a genocide of a whole continent. Started more wars than any other nation/state in the human history. Probably killed more civilians than any other nation in history (Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, just to name a few countries with huge losses among civilians, not even counting those who died from hunger or illnesses caused by US wars and deliberate destruction of agriculture and infrastructure).

So what? Do you read every day that it is the most belligerent and aggressive state on Earth, although it really is?

> pervasive disinformation efforts

I've already wrote in the original message, how Russia is portrayed by the media and Hollywoold. Is it a really true information? Not propaganda and disinformation?
