I read the article. I associate the negative tone with a defensiveness that comes from feeling as if one is under attack, which I would attribute to lingering Cold War rhetoric repurposed for modern-day politics. 1) I posted links to the congratulatory tweets and press releases here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23479424 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23479424 . For whatever reason, this press release was chosen to be submitted instead. 2) I posted what seemed to the response to an attack here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23479344 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23479344 . I have not found evidence of the attack after I spent some time searching, so I do not know what event is being referenced.
