Amid the ongoing crisis in Ukraine and intervention in Syria, Putin’s foreign policy has highlighted his country’s aspirations to regain its status as a key geopolitical player.  To help make sense of Russia’s increasingly assertive and disruptive behavior, Andrew S. Weiss and Paul Stronski participated in a Reddit ‘Ask Me Anything’ on March 10, 2016. Participants asked these seasoned former U.S. government experts about topics related to Russian foreign policy. This online Q&A is part of a series of AMAs done with the help of the Geopolitics Subreddit.
