I see nothing wrong with Russia trying to counterbalance the US's overwhelming naval military superiority. Balance of forces leads to stability while imbalance leads to conflict. Additionally Russia's rising strength can also serve as a counterbalance to China. A unipolar world has shown itself to be unworkable since the fall of the USSR. Failed terrorist states like Somalia and Afghanistan are the result of this power vacuum. Iran would not be going nuclear in Russia's backyard if they had proper respect for Russian power.
