Would I want to remove nukes from Russia in the state it is in? No. I feel pretty comfortable with them. Iran, well....
The USSR which was more militant in the past and had issues in Afghanistan were a nuke was more suited than ground troops didn't then. What make them want to do so now?

Only a terrorist state would nuke someone on a first-strike basis. What you're proposing (nuking Iran now without provocation) is the ultimate act of terrorism. But if Israel nuked Iran, then the chance of Russia nuking Israel back is much higher because then it would just be defending its interests against terrorism.
