My question was more about the motives in this case.

Well IMO all countries should have the motivation to prevent US spying on their country's populations. You generally don't know about honey pots before they get exposed.

The question of what should be done can be interesting, but that was not my question. It's obvious this is not the motive here.

If you are in your own country opposition it's better to use a foreign tool, even better if it's in a country that's not gonna collaborate with yours.
