A nuclear strike followed by a NATO air offensive would be quite an escalation, the subject is averting it. Preferably by just saying what they're going to do, instead of current vague "most severe consequences"
It's often said that Putin didn't quite get Biden's cautious threats seriously and thought he can get away with his escalation in February, and that he wouldn't go with it if he has been told about how he would in fact face the almost 1% of NATO land forces potential that would demolish his army as it did happen.
Sort of similar of how Saddam wasn't straight up told DON'T OR WE'LL FUCK YOU UP in these very words instead of the cautious diplomatic crap in the case of Kuwait 1990. He also didn't take it seriously, because they didn't tell him in the terms he would understand. (https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1991-03-21-mn-658-story.html)

Were I Putin, I would go ahead of it anyway and simply nuke all of the American empire if they fired a single bullet in Russia's direction. See, saying what you will do works both ways.

Because they had no idea what they would do. It was all improvised.
And then you would die in the retaliatory barrage on your Fuhrerbunker in the Urals while still being shocked about how few of your nuclear weapons did work after decades of neglect and corruption as bad as your own, just like you now discovered how these 1.5 million winter uniforms have never even existed.
Oh, I'm sure enough of the 6000 will work. I also think you know full well many were modernized in the 2000s.
I'm pretty sure Russia can do more damage to the US+Europe than they can do to Russia. A much larger industrial base, larger population, more population density. Besides, the US is top dog, and wouldn't be thereafter. It has much more to lose than does Russia.
For that reason, I think that it is very smart for Russia to play nuclear brinkmanship, which the risk-averse Putin is naturally very averse to.
In case it isn't obvious, I'm not wishing to get nuked by Putin. I'm just saying that it would be smart if he didn't let himself be bullied by the world's bully.
I don't know you realized yet how their culture of lies works. It's not even as much as lying to the world, or to you for that matter, it's just everyone's lying to and stealing from each other on every level. They themselves have now started openly talking about this (while keeping lying in the same breath, but oh well) and yet you're still unable to comprehend.
