The British and French would be NATO bound to nuke them also. Then Polish , Finnish, German, etc troops would invade around the glowing craters. And of course China would invade and annex oil rich Siberia.
I see similar thoughts expressed on occasion and it’s always an interesting angle there are apparently many who believe there’s gonna be something left habitable and worth invading and/or annexing around these glowing craters or that there would be forces left to do so.
That’s not how any of this would work in the event of a global nuclear exchange in this modern era.

Spot on!
Conventional, Chemical and Biological would allow the invading country to eventually occupy the land, which in Russia and China's case would be a welcome opportunity in order to feed their population.
However, thermonuclear war would not only render the entire continent uninhabitable, but would do so for generations upon generations upon generations and the wind-borne radiation/radioactive particles would spread pretty much worldwide.
And the invading country would also be annihilated as the victim would launch upon detection of any launches against them. Remember 'Mutually Assured Destruction'? MAD??
