"widespread death and destruction across the entire planet" does not necessitate Russia using nukes. Russia is not a political island. They have allies. Conventional warfare between the US and Russia would likely draw in countries from every inhabited continent.

Imagine for yourself what "victory" against Russia, China, and Brazil would look like. How many millions would be dead?

Russia's only ally is Belarus (if you can call that an ally since the country barely exists), China and Brazil aren't going to deploy any troops to save Russia
