Your war game experience echos what General Jack Keane said on Fox, He did not go into details, but he hinted that the Balkans would have been toast. Things change rapidly. In the 1960s the USA military had a huge technology advantage. I was cross training as an electronics warfare officer with Army Air Defense Command in the mid-1960s. It was relatively easy to defeat Russian electronic measures, but we could not compete with the USAF.
This country needs to rebuild its military advantage and to further encourage NATO allies to tend to their security as much as the USA does. They are far more prosperous than Russia except for their reliance on Russian gas.
Have you read William Douglas's book, International Dissent? I think you'd like it.
“Our image of communism devouring the earth and Russia’s image of capitalism guided by greed and inhumanity are still strong. Yet, the two systems seem to be converging… The important point is that neither our Pentagon nor Russia’s Pentagon nor anyone else’s Pentagon has any major role to play in evolving cooperative regimes for dealing with disputes and dissents at the international level."” — Justice William O. Douglas, International Dissent (1971, paperback)
