They know that winter is coming, literally, even from a political sense, and they know that Europe depends so much on their energy source. They\u2019re not afraid to use that. And the whole Pentagon\/Kremlin playbook is in play right now. Disinformation, cyberattacks, use of energy as a coercive force, those are all in play. And I think they recognize that if there\u2019s opportunity for weakness, it comes because of the need for energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p><em>Follow <\/em><em>Ian&nbsp;Hanchett on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IanHanchett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@IanHanchett<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Tuesday\u2019s \u201cCNN Newsroom,\u201d Rep.
