Why the hysteria over absolutely nothing?

"President Trump is denying knowledge of an arrangement in which Russian military officials reportedly offered to secretly pay Taliban fighters for killing American troops in Afghanistan," wrote Riley Beggin in Vox. "A pair of explosive reports from the New York Times indicates that United States officials learned months ago of a Russian intelligence unit secretly offering bounties to the Taliban for killing US and other coalition forces in Afghanistan, as peace talks to end the war continue." Both Vox and the New York Times are left-wing Trump-hating media companies but they should not indulge in dressing up something totally inconsequential to create hysteria. From 1979-1989 the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) financed, armed and trained Afghan mujahideen to fight against Soviet forces in Afghanistan, named Operation Cyclone. Mujahideen leaders were photographed talking to the then President Ronald Reagan in the Oval Office. "Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday expressed his regret over Pakistan's involvement with Mujahideen, an infamous outfit know for their terrorist activities. They were trained by Pakistan and funded by the CIA, he said. That led to the civil war in Afghanistan from 1989-1992, with various US funded groups fighting against each other. Thousands died. The New York Times has been accused of propagating allegations against Trump which turn out to be completely false. "The United States has also routinely criticized Pakistan for supporting the Afghan Taliban and Haqqani Network (a US-designated terrorist group) both of which frequently attack US troops and coalition forces in Afghanistan," wrote Sahar Khan. Why were these channels silent when the Obama administration was supplying F-16 fighter jets and other advanced weapons systems to Pakistan, reported by Seema Sirohi, even though there are credible allegations of 9/11 funds originating in that country. Then there are hysterical fulminations on alleged Russian interference in 2016 elections in the US which was won by Donald Trump. There was an investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller who did not find any evidence of conspiracy between Trump campaign and Russia. Why is it wrong for Russia to interfere in US elections while it is fine for the US to bring about regime change in Libya through an illegal bombing campaign, resulting in the death of up to 30,000 civilians? While the Left in the US gets hysterical over imagined crimes by Russia there seems to be almost total silence over China's covert activities in the US. Is the Left trying to cover China by creating hysteria over Russia? That would be betrayal.
