It’s not surprising, and I am used to it by now. I agree the tone was combative, but I have been losing patience with the virtually uniform acceptance of every ridiculous proclamation about Russia in the US/Western media, and the ridiculous/pathetic suggestions that anyone who questions that narrative is working for the Kremlin or somehow a Putin admirer. “This time is different, this a good war.” Makes me want to vomit.
While I don't share the absolute certainty, I also think the most direct story/motivations would be for the USA (perhaps via some ally like the UK) to be behind this.
I don't think Russia can be entirely excluded though - perhaps for some internal political play - but it does seem to require more non-obvious motivations.
