Any idea that the Russians will use a nuclear weapon neglects the reality of the rampant Russian military corruption.
Like other weapons, they need maintenance and upkeep. Are you saying that they were kept up like they should have been?

If it becomes verifiable that Russia failed to maintain their nukes, Russia no longer has a nuclear deterrent.
This is why they haven't.
