If Russia wants to get into a new arms race, it will be at their own peril. It would take decades for them to be able to compete militarily with the US and our allies, and would most likely bankrupt the country in the process. I think it would be a stupid move on their part putting themselves on a path towards certain doom after all they've accomplished post cold war.
