Just a single missile...

Remember when the US dropped two nuclear bombs on japan to prove they had more than one?

Not saying anything is good, just saying it's entirely possible they do not have any more of these that are functional.

Trump is talking about letting the US - Russia Nuclear treaty lapse. I guess it could be an attempt at intimidation.

I don't think there is any chance of nuclear war, or even a nuclear strike against ukraine by russia. There is far too much to lose for russia if they turn to nukes. the wind pattern would spread fallout to russia and belarus.

I agree. I don't think it's a factually accurate way to intimidate.
