Not really possible.
If nuclear are weapons are used, the war ends in a stalemate, the world economy crashes, and two or three billion people die of sickness and starvation.
If conventional weapons are used, the Russian air force is outnumbered by about three to one and therefore cannot plausibly attack the United States via international air space over the Arctic and across Alaska. The United States would not strike at Russia at all, as there is no strategic benefit to be gained from doing so. It escalates the conflict without achieving any advantage for the United States.
Russia will be diplomatically isolated and the United States somewhat so until the violence is ended, hopefully in a few days or weeks. As long as Russia is prevented from harming the United States, its economy implodes during and after the war and the United States would then be considered the victor. It would then cooperate with its European allies to rebuild Russia, both to protect its nuclear arsenal and to keep it from being economically and politically consumed by China.
