I can see the point, Mr. Roberts makes however, I disagree with the, "now, misguided interests" of  Congress. I've not seen such collective agreement in congress in a while. Near unanimous and that tells me that all of these representatives from around the country are saying to Russia, and in particular, the criminal president, Putin, there are consequences when interfering with American business/politics, way-of-life. It's a strike against Putin and his immediate ruling echelons, not against the common folk of Russia; as I have many Russian friends who reside here in America.  Bottom line is, the near unanimous vote in Congress is sending a message to Russia that this is how a united America feels about the situation.
