The cold war is over. But the US is the most powerful economy and military power in the world. Russia has the second largest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world, and a nation which occupies 1/4 of the land surface of the earth. Of course they are going to be competitive. And, yes, America has been making many moves threatening to Russia. America began signing treaties with many former CICS countries a decade ago, and placing troops in those countries. Now they are building a large missile defense system right on Russia's border.
Of course the Russians will react. Americans go insane when a small country like Cuba or Venezuala or El Salvador or Nicaragua dare stand up to them. If Russian troops were being stationed in Mexico, or if Russia began placing "defensive weapons" in Mexico, Americans would poop their pants.
