yes, but the Russians have nukes so actually no. If you have nukes you basically get to do what you want and the other great powers don't get to attack you. If you don't have nukes you don't get that privilege

Hundreds to thousands of nukes, mostly yes. one to tens of, not so much. People don't want nukes to be used, but having a supply of 20 nukes or so would not get the world to let you do whatever you wanted.

And at a certain point, even the hundreds to thousands may still lead to war, if pressing too hard.
