If Russia didn't have nukes, we would invade them, take their oil, and take their billions of acres of farmland and profit.
Nah. Neither America nor NATO want's to invade Russia. That's not the way we court a country. It's too bad Putin had to go down that ugly road. Russia at the cross roads between East and West is in a good location for very prosperous trade.
Putin has stepped in the honey bucket. He can't dream of winning without a massive mobilization using conscription and that's probably political suicide for him and his Ukraine invasion. His 45 ton T72's are no match for >70 ton American, German and British tanks.

Even with the US military fully depleted the United States is one of the best armed countries in the world. We would be unable to fight toe to toe, but in a gorilla style conflict on US soil it wouldn't be close.

"For example, the quantities of Javelins transferred to Ukraine through late August 2022 represented seven years of production [at 2022 rates]. ... The number of Stingers transferred to Ukraine is roughly equal to the total number built for all non-U.S. customers in the last 20 years. ... As of January 2023, the U.S. military has provided Ukraine with up to 1,074,000 rounds of 155 mm ammunition, significantly shrinking the availability of 155 mm rounds in storage. Because of the limited availability of 155 mm howitzers and ammunition, the U.S. military began sending 105 mm howitzers and ammunition instead."

It's even worse for many NATO countries.

It's about cycling through old stores of ammunition and weapons around the world.
"How can we get rid of all these old tanks and warehouses full of ammunition and artillery and missiles so we can then sell more as replacement?"
War and every nation must contribute!
