That doesn't end (nor start for that matter) with a nuke. You can bet Russians (and basically anyone alive) would prefer the scenario where he remains their autocrat than one where he triggers their apocalypse if not everyone's.

Hope I'm wrong to believe in mutually assured destruction, and hopefully we won't get to test the theory at all.

To be clear, the idea is that he tries to use a nuke, but does not, because he's killed by those around him.
