I can only see this as a continuation of a trend of major US companies being purchased by foreign companies. It does not speak well for the health of the nations economy.
Perhaps this is an instance of Russian investors trying to invest profits overseas in light of Putins adventurism and tightening political grip at home.

I don’t disagree with your take on it. It does bother me to see our nation’s businesses sold off to foreign interests.
I consider businesses to be national assets.
