In a fit of dementia Biden orders a first strike on Russia. Russia retaliates but most of their ICMBs fails to launch. The ones that launch may fail to detonate. I expect few to get through to the US, but they will be devastating. We'll experience some failures too, the cost of launch will be felt.

Russia exits this scenario as it's going to be called the Dead Zone for the next thousand years.

Perfect time for China to land troops on US soil while we're experiencing the aftermath of nuclear strikes. They'd try to seize our remaining stockpiles before we can launch against the mainland.

Russia's not that stupid, they maintain their nukes properly unlike North Korea.

I don't attribute it to stupidity but a lack of resources. Russia's GDP is less than Texas and they have 6,500 nukes.
