If a government has a history of interfering in your internal affairs to cynically advance their interests, maintains harmful policies against you for not aligning with their interests, and has an aggressive diplomatic posture, then it is logical to adopt a hostile stance towards that country until that pattern of behaviour changes.

The countries in questions have a been quite antagonistic towards the US and this antagonism has been reciprocated. That is perfectly understandable.

Your argument is that this antagonism is justified because "the US started it" or maybe "the US deserves it" ... I'm not so sure about that.
