all of the extra warheads russia has merely means they can make the rubble bounce a few times.
However
this throw weight advantage means that serious consideration would be given to decapitation strikes without warning to reduce their effectiveness. Counterforce nuclear strikes including emp blasts and cyber destruction of the command and control authority would happen.
This is why putin is afraid. The military hierarchy and oligarchs surrounding him understand this all too well. That's why you have both sen. Graham and president biden calling for putin's removal. Hopefully someone over there reads the memo.
