Spoiler: Click to check.

A major nuclear exchange between USA and Russia will be a catastrophic event for mankind and billions might die around the world consequently. Global Order might collapse by extension.

However, Soviet spy Sergei Tretyakov disclosed in his accounts that KGB created and advanced Nuclear Winter argument and many have bought it.

Book Details the Defection of 'Comrade J'

In 2000, Sergei Tretyakov became one of the highest-ranking Russian spies ever to defect to the United States. Pete Earley, author of a new book about Tretyakov called Comrade J, and the former Russian spy discuss his case and his motivation.

Is Nuclear Winter a Myth? – Defence Tactical

American forces are made to operate around the world - this makes sense and could be in line with a contingency plan. There are some well-prepared locations in USA which can continue to function after a nuclear war. Raven Rock is one of these locations. Regrouping and relocation of survivors to a new landscape is possible. If Canada is not suitable, another place could be. It depends.

Let us focus on the topic on hand.

What makes you think Russia will not hit the major bases around the world?
Russia also have such plans and places.
But the truth is that it will not be possible to rehabilitate such areas for hundreds of years not because of Nuclear winter but because of Nuclear fallout, Nuclear winds that will take radiation around, Radiation rain, radiated water and radiated land.

Few adjustment to your assumptions:

1. Ukrainian air defence is simply huge, and fully complete

2. Current SAMs on both sides are generation 4+ SAMs, which should be resistant to Soviet era anti-radiation weapons of both sides.

3. Ukrainian planes were road/field basing for weeks already. Their airforce cannot be killed in one big decisive swoop now.

If what you say is true, then this would a monumental F-up: Intelligence and Planning.

No side can hope to gain air superiority in a red on red conflict. The air defence always beats air offence for as long as both sides use Soviet hardware.

This would mean both sides know each other's capabilities. So the advantage falls on numerical superiority, which Russia have. When I was active duty and on the F-16, our squadron did exercised against the Red air defense unit from Nellis. You can see SOME of the Threat Center Soviet hardware here...

Out in the desert range, they have lots and lots more in full functionality.

We trained in going against the air defense threat in a typical 4-ship force and more. We learned to recognize threat freqs and their characteristics in search and focused modes. So I have to disagree with you here. The VKS have numerical superiority over the Ukrainian Air Force. On the first day, the VKS should have overwhelmed the Ukrainian air defense, or at least destroyed %50 of them.

General clark is right when he says, if we are afraid to act because of a nuclear threat, what will we do if he goes after the next country?

His use of nuclear force should not in any way prevent us from acting. He will use it if he wants to. That is his right and his decision. All we can do in that respect is have retaliatory capabilities ready and all the secret capabilities ready that will deny him the ability to launch as many as possible. Nuclear war is definitely winnable by the US, it always has been. US has always believed that and thats why they have all the things in place if it should ever happen. Obviously best avoided.

He also says that the future of the western world will depend upon Russia succeeding or failing here in Ukraine. I agree with this.

I think his brain is twisted.

There will be no conflict and problem like today if USA + allies are not acting crazily.

And now he is trapped under a choice between not acting because afraid of a nuclear attack and acting.

Winning a brawl with losing some limbs and becoming cripples forever vs winning friends are still the same winning.

But I still prefer winning friends over losing some limbs, cripples forever, and maybe soon after death.... although winning.

Sometimes people need to know where is the stop line is.

A businessman went bankrupt and lost everything because he is still wanted more.

An athlete is humiliated despite gold medals for straight 10 times in the past.
