If you assume all Russian subs and planes can be sunk / shot down before they release their payloads, there’s still over 3000 land based ICBM warheads. There is no terminal phase missile defense system. Majority of the land based warheads will reach terminal phase. The extrapolation that the events in Ukraine mean that nuclear exchange between the two biggest nuclear nations is somehow survivable is both dumb and dangerous.
And in theory they have enough working ones that at least one is guaranteed to slip through defenses

Well… The species will probably survive, as will a plethora of other species on the planet.
The things that definitely won’t survive are modern society and it’s status quo.
Nobody wants a nuclear war. I think we can all agree that it would be bad for an uncountable number of reasons.
Just a small one perhaps?
Okay you and Nuke can have a small one, as a treat.
Go play out back, have fun.
They were in their Church Clothes! How could you let them go out in the mud?!
Eh, it will vaporise.
