Threatening to turn shut off the pipes as the weather turns cold is a pretty effective way to influence foreign policy. But now it looks like one of Vladimir Putin’s key weapons is losing some its punch.
This week on War College, we’re looking at how shifts in the production of oil and natural gas are affecting global security, and where that leaves the United States.
