Well its more sensationalist gives more clicks views etc. Ofcourse they would not dispute the claim. USA defense people want americans to fear russia for job security.

Does not matter really, 100 nukes going off anywhere would kill all mankind with fallout and contamination.

It really depends on the nuclear bomb.
Actually 100 Hiroshima Bombs would not do that much.
The strenght of the bombs is measured in kilo/mega tons its the equivalent of tons of TNT.
The Hiroshima Bomb had 20 Kilotons which is equivalent to 20000 kgTNT exploding.
100 times that would be 2 Megatons. Which is 2 Million kg TNT.
Tsar Bomba had 50 Megtons which is 50 Million Tons of TNT.
A single Tsar Bomba is as strong as 2500 Hiroshima bombs.
The impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. Was like 2 Million Tsar Bombas or 240000 GigaTons of TNT. We have 15000 atomic bombs currently. All far weaker then Tsar.
The second most energetic eruption after that impact was a supervulcano which was 5000 times stronger than Tsar. To impact all the earth severly and alot of people it is enough to fire 15000 Bombs. But to extinct the human race everywhere on the planet we need much much more power.
Ofcourse there would be nuclear winter and Billions dead however in the history of earth there were way more energetic events than the combined energy of all nuclear weapons in existance which brought way more dust in to the atmosphere and fauna and flora survived.
The Fallout is also survivable, ofcourse life expectancy would go back to like 25 in heavily contaminated areas.
The USA fired 1200 Nuclear Bombs for test purposes in the past 50 years which is a third of all fired bombs in the past fifty years and most people ahve no clue ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_weapons_tests_of_the_United_States )
100 bombs evenly fired would impact all of as a bit and kill many millions. Maybe temperatures would drop enough to cancel the increasing of temperatures in the past decades.
The earth is a huge place and asteroids, meteors can unload all the bombs we ever produced in milliseconds on us and we would still survive. The dinausaur impactor was 10 kilometers in diameter thats bigger than the everest. We would barely be able to blow up everest with every single nuclear bomb we have.
We would have to drill into everest and place the bombs there.
