Given the fact that Russia is developing such vehicles as the T14 Armata and the lighter Sprut. Coupled with the fact that they are acting more aggressively in Europe should we be building or restoring more tanks?

Restoring or upgrade current stock I believe is fine. As much as they have upgraded the Bradley's and continually improve on all I think we're fine.
What we need to do (which we are starting to) is get back to is the Combined Arms. Bradley's and Tanks fighting together.

Refurbish and upgrade current stock.is fine but how can anyone say a tank is no longer a viable asset? 100000 dollar missile or 12000 dollar sabot round

It's not that big a worry - it's a protected industry.
Remember this from a few years ago?

Why build tanks when you can build tank killers?
Tanks are great, but we can blanket entire grids with arty. We can precision target almost anything with a missile. Do we need to fight tanks with tanks?

We have Battalions of tanks stored in the desert. We don't have to build any we can precondition them. You can't win a land war with firepower and given the state of art of the AD systems in first world nations is lethal to acft. . We need a balanced mobile force to engage the mobile forces of the Russians and Chinese.

LTC Bink Romanick I'm not suggesting moving away from balance. Far from it, but... Tank on Tank may not be the most viable approach either.
Note: one minor point of clarification, Russia (Eastern Bloc) is Second World Nations.

Honesty I don't know if we'll ever see a "traditional" tank on tank fight like they did in previous conflicts ie WW2. We've got so many more combat assets now in a combined arms fight.
