You are delusional. If we fired nukes, they detect them mid way and fire off all their nukes. At Europe, at Ukraine, at America. Probably some other nations too. As the other nations detect incoming nukes, they fire all their nukes off as well. 20 minutes until civilizational destruction and back to the stone age, with a long radioactive nuclear winter. Worse today. Not only will radiation spread all over the world and entire power grids destroyed, nuclear power plants are not maintained either. Hydro-electric damns that kept massive amounts of water at bay are no longer operating or maintained. When these infrastructures fall apart they cause secondary disasters, killing whatever potential survivors around those areas too. No more food can be grown, radioactive contamination. No more sanitation services, no more hospitals running, no more global supply chain for goods and essentials, your way of life dies, you die with it. Billions die. The world takes many decades before the fallout dissipates back into the Earth. The Earth would turn into Mars.
