Red panic: Best Buy yanks Kaspersky antivirus from shelves

I can't help loving The Reg sounding like Shylock when it says US software companies might lose BUSINESS if Russia makes good on using only its software. "My software, my dollars, my software" Maybe, JUST MAYBE, everything that is going wrong is a direct result of our country running risk after risk because BUSINESS is the only value we ever think of. Well, then let those companies PAY the costs that are a result of their years and years of selling everywhere it saw money. Social costs, as we all know, are never born by those who originally generate them. One thing that might impress Putin is if any American business walked away from a dollar or a rouble. Sort of like when a prostitute looks at a john and says "Sorry but I have SOME standards. Keep your money". Can the US of A ever BE that prostitute?
