Russia is deploying their ballistic missiles and nuclear subs as a response to their view that NATO and the U.S. are a threat to their national sovereignty.
These increases are strategic moves to limit U.S. and NATO operations in areas they refer to as their "near abroad".
"NATO is viewed as an existential threat to Russia, and in the post-Cold War period, the expansion of NATO eastward closer to Russia and our military capability they view as a very visceral threat to Russia," Adm. Mark Ferguson said.

I miss the Good Old Days and Obviously the Russians do to. I remember when this was at least a weekly thing. Remember the accidental bumps, The Russian Anchor that got stuck on a US Navel Vessel after a bump (Fell overboard before US Sailors could secure it to take home as a trophy) or the time USS Midway made a Speed Bump of a Russian Sub showing off and doing an emergency blow right in front of her. Ah Yes the Good Old Days.
