I'm not sure I understand, can you elaborate please?

Russia is a nuclear kleptocracy, it is ruled by a mob that seized power in a country that was already very fragile but that still had a massive arsenal. If you think about Russia in terms of a large gang run empire it starts to make a lot more sense. I know plenty of absolutely great Russian people, the country however is giving me the creeps and I don't see any of it ending well.

The mob is Putins gang. And they have access to nukes, which is why they dared start this expedition into the Ukraine in the first place.

hm.... Maybe the real solution is proving that nukes don't work

Even if 98% of them don't work that's still a big problem.
