> or maybe even the US or Canada for 6 months and work from there.

As an American in the EU, my entire family has been calling me for days to move back. Personally, I think its unlikely that Russia would nuke anyone in the EU. If anything, they would nuke the US. Plus, it's much more likely to die from some random shooting in the US than by a nuke any day of the week.

They have enough nukes to nuke every city in NATO. Under no situation would they just nuke the US.

Russian first strike capability with land + sea based missiles is at most 1000 warheads. Clearly not enough.

And that is assuming they work, which estimates are very much varied about. Obviously Russia isn't going to help with verification here.
