Nobody wants a war between NATO and Russia because in that scenario, everybody loses.

Russia wouldn't win a ground conflict, but they'd sure-as-hell nuke the fuck out of every major city.

That would be the end of Russia and they know it.

It would also be the end of NATO and probably the rest of the world. That's why it's called mutually assured destruction. But it seems like recently policy makers are forgetting that

That's exactly the point. Why would Russia send nukes if it knows it'll be destroyed in retribution?

"Russia" as a whole wouldn't want that. But there's only one guy in charge of everything.
