It very much is the responsibility of the NSA, but they mostly fail at their primary job, and conduct illegal activities such as mass surveillance instead.
Another example of a government agency that fails at their job: the FDA. The FDA is supposed to protect consumers from harmful foods and medications, but the fact that you can walk into any store and grab a can of food or bottle of vitamins/supplements contaminated with heavy metals is a huge red flag [0][1][2][3][4][5]. The FDA does 0 product screening whatsoever. If the FDA actually did their job, healthcare revenues would be at an all time low in America. It pays off big time to have a diseased population.
The companies pulling out of Russia will lose revenue. That is an objective fact. They are cutting off their nose to spite their face.
On the flip side, this isn’t that bad for Russia. Multinational corporations suck the life out of medium and small businesses. Such a mass exodus of goods and services gives the people of Russia an opportunity to establish their own homegrown businesses, which is empowering.
