All that assumes a limited war in a confined space. Russia told the US last week it had 3 demands and than any push to confront Russia means world nuclear war. The country is ready for it, and will no longer accept the encroachment by the US. Demand 1, change policy and accept the reality of a multipolar world, Demand 2. drop the sanctions which is an act of war. and compensate Russia for the economic loss due to the US crime, and Demand 3, stop encircling Russia with threatening actions, intense propaganda and placement of nuclear missiles aimed at Russia, on its border. Failing in these points means war of a scale the US can't win or even survive.
By the way, talks have started about returning Russian bases to Cuba and in other countries. Last week missiles capable of delivering nukes were reinstalled in Kaliningrad, right in the heart of northern Europe.
Despite the bluster and name calling and threats to Russia like unleashing terrorists to attack Russian cities that a spokesperson for the State Depart threatened last week, Obama blinked and ordered strikes against Syria and Russia to be halted temporarily, while Clinton is demanding attacking Russian aircraft.
Obama has pushed Russia too far and they are prepared to defend with all they have. Russia has shelters for most of their population and infrastructure less fragile than that of the US that has no civil defense system and very limited missile defense system. Most of the money spent on the military is offensive equipment designed for foreign wars, and spread out over 157 countries. The war would be long over before any of that equipment was moved to useful locations in the US.

I know Russia and Russians and they are not bluffing, they know war in ways Americans have no clue about, and they avoid war at all costs. But the line has been drawn and millions of Americans will die due to pigheadedness and treachery of the US neocon driven foreign policy that has put us right on the edge of all; out war. If you are in a country with US arms located or in the US and do not have a very deep shelter and a strong emergency plan, you are going to die. The bully has been stood up to, now either policy changes so make the US more aligned to the UN Charter principles, you are likely to die.
