No. Why would we?

Tankies have been anti-NATO since 1949. It has nothing to do with the Red v. Blue spectacle.

Thanks for the reply.

The author's thesis is based on the speech that Putin gave upon assuming office in 1999-08-16, specifically the "zones of interest" phrase. Here it is with a couple paragraphs of context:

IMO, hearing a head-of-state swear to pursue their nation's national interests is pretty banal stuff. Russia was part of an active interstate alliance in 1999.

Has he said anything more "mask off" in the past 26 years?

[Putin] has been publicly discussing reclaiming [the Soviet] empire for decades now.

I wasn't aware of this. Can you provide me with some examples?
