what good is an oreshnik missile if russia always chickens out?

ok so they have this advanced missiles that cost lots of money and can supposidly do lots of damage or whatever.

but their oil ships get seized, and weapons are sent to their enemies.
so an oreshnik is pretty much a very expensive paper weight isn't it?

It would be suicidal for them to attack the US.

If a full war were to break out they would get utterly destroyed while NATO would remained (while badly damaged due to the nukes).

It makes sense for the US to press their advantage now when they can.

What russia can do is to attack europe hoping the US isn't going to do much to help them like what they are doing currently in ukraine and with Trump not really wanting to help too much.
