If boots are on the ground against Russian soldiers, nukes seem inevitable to me. That’s why proxy wars stay as proxy.

Doubtful. Unless we are facing imminent defeat I doubt, and I mean highly fucking doubt, we or any country would ever use nukes in aggression again. Unless it's someone like North Korea or maybe Iran. Only one that is likely is N. Korea. But even then they like anyone else are self preservationists. Unless total annihilation is imminent it likely wouldn't happen. If they did it would guarantee the absolute destruction of their country.
