The moment one launches the US and Britain would retaliate right? You can't just let off a cheeky nuke

Depends who it's aimed at, but largely, yes.

With the nukes you'd have to hope there's a chain of people between Putin and an actual launch and that those people would ultimately decide they'd rather execute Putin than destroy Earth

Clearly from the outside looking in, but there doesn't seem to be anyone brave enough to have a differing opinion to Putin. Can't see anyone in/near his inner circle doing anything other than his wishes.

I would like/hope to think it is Putin fronting, but it's all gone a bit off-piste recently so who knows.

There is a very large difference between resisting Putin on an invasion of Ukraine and resisting him when he wants to launch a nuke I think. Self-preservation and the survival of your family, for a start. What can Putin threaten you with that's worse than the consequences of all out nuclear war?
