He's definitely a nationalist and by no means wrapped around the U.S.'s finger (not to mention he seems to sanction the permanant "silencing" of people who speak out against him), but he's been that way the whole time he's been leader. Perhaps its based on his increasing importance when it comes to russia/china/middle east/U.S. relations.
