It’s surprise effect was heightened by it’s irrationality. When the possibility of nuclear weapons are involved the prospect that your adversary is acting irrationally is a scary scenario. This is political Chaos Theory and I suspect that it explains Putin’s cautious response and also that of the Iranian leadership who are very familiar with the “October Surprise” tradition in the American election cycle.
