We don’t know how well maintained Russia’s nukes are. US has invested a lot in deterrence of ICBMs and Missiles. So if both Russia and US were to fire their ICBMs in quick succession (mutually assured destruction) scenario, it’s likely the US ones will be a lot more potent. Most Russians are clustered on the west near Moscow. US cities would still be hit and it would be very devastating, but Russia and China would be obliterated. Death toll would be in the billions.
