That's not true.

There are more options available to US than just "fire all the missiles".

I mean any launch by Russia will be declaration of war on everyone.

I don't know the effectiveness of stopping these nukes with missile defense. I suspect the USA has multiple plans that they expect to be effective.

Depends on the target. If its the Ukraine -- maybe not.

Like, if they launch on Ukraine. The nuke will go off on its target. Do you feel like the rest of the world who is anxiously watching what is happening will sit back and do nothing?

Very unlikely that they could be intercepted. IIRC those missiles launched from Russia can reach the east coast in an hour.
