I forget did we reinstate the Shah because the democratically elected government was just hostile to our oil interests or were they flirting with  SOCIALISM too?

The whole deal about MAD is it takes nukes out of the equation when you're talking about hot wars between super powers, rendering a loss in conventional total war still preferable to a fatal draw via nuclear exchange. Aside from an aging but still viable nuclear arsenal, Russia is very much a paper tiger, not to be disregarded but also not an enormous threat. The only problem would be if all of the military force deterring Russian expansion into places Russia shouldn't be expanding were somehow centralized under a power whose willingness to deter came into question. But that couldn't ever happen, surely?
