Chances are it would be the first war in a while where America would take hits on their own mainland as Russia would basically have to Pearl Harbor America's capability to make war in the Atlantic and resupply over the ocean.
Modern weapons in theory have the capability to be more selective, but all that means is you need less to do more devastation then the carpet bombing campaigns of the second World War.
You would have a massive refugee problem, probably some level of mass starvation, you would probably see millions upon millions of casualties and once again that younger generation would be devastated.
A open war against Russia would be Armageddon even without the use of nuclear weapons.
