Russia's leadership, headed by Vladimir Putin, claims that that Russia needs to stop America from doing whatever it wants. That means Russia intends to go back to Soviet Union era tactics.
Part of this will be in missile defenses, increased military presence globally and new weapons installed. This is also why they claim that they will be able to divert asteroids in space that pose a threat.
Looks like the Romanovs are taking a step forward and attempting to claim a higher status within Illuminati ranks.
