Nuclear is effective beyond the threat. It can also be effective in beating your opponent into submission.

The goal at that point is going until your opponent says mercy and hoping they stop before it’s too late.
I’m extremely confident the US and other nuclear powers know exactly how serious Putin’s threat is, and are acting accordingly.

Well I never said he would just let NATO win.
As for actually utilizing nuclear weapons, they are only effective if you have superiority, and an opportunity to win (before you don't exist any more). Russia is fully aware that they cannot utilize these weapons without triggering a full and total response from NATO. There is no 'effective' usage here.
Oh, and I agree 100% with your final comment.
