 Putin won't nuke the Ukraine because he views it as an integral part of
his empire and he wants it whole and intact.  Or as whole and intact as
possible.
 But surrounding areas, he doesn't care about except in that they provide
a zone of isolation around Russia... and Poland and Czechia can do that
just fine whether or not they are habitable.
 Now the question: is he stupid and crazy enough to do that in the face of
invariable retaliation?  That's the one I can't answer, and the more that
he isolates himself from the outside world the harder that gets to answer.

we were not fighters. Pacificistic Isolationists and
anti-semites kept Roosevelt from helping Europe until
we were attacked by Germany's Allies, the Axis.

 Indeed.  On the whole, Chamberlain and Petain didn't go down very well
in history.

 I am very strongly against war in general.  But we have war:
