if russia leaves cuck zone, but not dumb enough to use nukes, they have escalation ladder still: satellite interception, turn off ukraine electricity, bomb pipelines to uk (via unaffiliated rogue oligarch and couple of divers, as per custom), cut internet cables, provide target guidance to houthis. With nukes there is still space/infrastructure first (minimal human victims), but i feel like conventional responses fairly escalatory for the west porky already.
(the cuck zone leaving is another question entirely for a bunch of civility libs)
Russia can also increase their military presence in Cuba and Venezuela
That's of questionable value both to cuba and russia tbh (pointing usa at cuba and losing military equipment in some far flung spaces)
