They can hit targets from thousands of miles away.

You don't have to move them "closer" to Russia to get them within range. In fact, it is stupid to do so and against doctrine.

The whole point of ballistic missile submarines is they can hide in vast tracts of ocean, and can launch missiles from long range.

Moving them close to Russia would only serve to put them in more dangerous waters closer to Russian air or anti submarine assets.
