According to Chris Murphy and Ron Johnson, the Act will provide new tools for the United States to combat “malign Russian influence” as well as create economic opportunities for the country, not only at home but also abroad.

“Russia uses its dominance of the energy market, along with bribery, corruption and propaganda to undermine Western institutions and install pliant governments that are unable or unwilling to counter Russia or its president, Vladimir Putin,” the release said.

Sounds like a plan to me.
