We are just going to intercept the 2000 warheads launched simultaneously from 300 ICBMs reentrying the atmosphere at relativistic speeds, and shoot down all of the strategic nuclear bombers, and depth charge all of the nuclear submarines before they can launch tactical nuclear strikes... Everything is going to be fine.

Literally the kind of stupidity that Dr. Strangelove was mocking. Actual Pentagon estimates for deaths resulting from a full nuclear war are 600 millions before accounting for secondary effects. If the US thought it could win a nuclear war with Russia it would have delivered a first strike a long time ago.

Yes, but Russia won't launch an all-out nuclear war. Just a few non-counterable strikes from hypersonics on designated Western cities (say, London and LA) with a message: "We can continue, or you stop your nonsense." It will be up to the West to be reasonable... Or kill the world.

That's like firing a warning shot at an armed man's leg and expecting him not to fire back to kill.

Your information is outdated. The West CANNOT stop most Russian nukes, but Russia CAN stop most western nukes. Putin doesn't bluff. He warns.
