"I win this war or I destroy the world," probably sounds great in Putin's head.

But how's he realistically going to carry that out? He'd be commanding his people to commit suicide. Unless he personally has access to nuclear launch codes, and direct access to the missiles of his choosing, we won't be seeing nuclear war.

He's not some comic book supervillain that has physical power over all he sees. He's a politician whom people listen to. When he gives an order to destroy life on the surface of his planet, that's when somebody else is going to take over. They're not going to want to live underground for the rest of their lives and for the next three generations of their families.
