Russia nuking Ukraine was a hypothetical false flag operation created by Ukraine in conjunction with the the west .
There are rumors that Ukraine has hidden nukes that they were going to set off and frame Russia if things got to desperate.

About 3,000 tons of plutonium and HEU have been produced by the civil and nuclear military facilities to date, with hundreds of kilograms of new plutonium forming constantly in the fuel rods of nuclear reactors worldwide. About 700 of these tons are in military inventories, about 1,300 tons in transitional inventories (mostly in the U.S. and Russia), and about 1,000 tons in civil inventories. Because the civil inventories in some of the largest nuclear-power states (i.e., the U.S., U.K., France, and Russia) are not subject to IAEA safeguards, only about 24 tons of weapon-grade plutonium and uranium—less than 1% of the world stock of these materials—is safeguarded. Though apparently small, this quantity of material could produce hundreds of nuclear weapons, and is exactly that fraction of the world's HEU and plutonium inventory that is most vulnerable to diversion. The IAEA, like a border patrol, thus deploys its forces along a critical edge rather than spreading them over the domain of all weapons-grade materials.
Safeguards are designed to deter—by making it difficult to conceal—any attempt to concentrate non-weapon-grade nuclear material into weapon-grade material or, alternatively, to divert weapon-grade material from peaceful purposes (e.g., breeder-reactor fuel) to weapons. Safeguards are thus after-the-fact measures designed to detect a material diversion that has already occurred, quickly enough to detect the diversion before a nuclear weapon can be assembled.

Um, yeah, this is like superfun! Shall we play a game? But for real, it is interesting to play around with. The thing I wonder is how would I know what is the nearest likely target from my location? I'd like to see what would happen in my area from different bombs.

Pretty sure if Russia was gonna nuke Ukraine they would have by now. Especially if they thought their military operation was losing. They won't nuke anybody else as it would initiate a full-scale response, nope they are just gonna slug the way through it. All while we pump billions into Ukraine with no oversight.

This is how Russia wins; by the attrition and bankruptcy of the US. They won't need to nuke anybody. Joe Biden and his corrupt, anti-American unconstitutional regime will figuratively nuke the country for them.

I really wasn't EVER worried about Russian tanks on US soil.
WON'T ever happen. And if it did, they wouldn't last too long. That is a promise and a guarantee.
