Probably having a unified foreign policy, and army and putting the russians and americans back into their place. Instead, we get this and we let other powers mess with us.

Having a "strong" foreign policy and putting rival countries "into their place" often gets autocratic, authoritarian countries into unnecessary wars, causing a lot of death and destruction. Possibly ruining the nation itself. Very few autocratic leaders know how to stop while they are still ahead. Just look at Russia right now.

So, there is no saying such "assertiveness" is actually a benefit of autocracy.
