Nuclear Capability and Military Doctrine
Russia maintains the world's largest nuclear arsenal under Putin's command. Recent military exercises frame this capability as defensive, with Putin stating drills train commanders in "repelling external aggression." This posture, combined with Russia's intervention in Ukraine, creates strategic uncertainty about when Russia might escalate beyond conventional conflict.
Unpredictable International Behavior
Putin's foreign policy operates outside traditional diplomatic constraints. Current negotiations over Ukraine reportedly involve complex oil deals and territorial considerations, reflecting Russia's willingness to reshape post Cold War settlement terms. Historian Margaret MacMillan recently warned that Russia is "behaving like a rogue state," noting risks of wider global conflict. This combination of nuclear weapons, regional military dominance, and demonstrated indifference to international norms explains sustained global concern about Putin's decision making.
