A war with Russia was never going to be won by conventional forces, the plan was always to fall back on tactical nukes as the Russians would always massively outnumber NATO.

General John Hackett disagrees re stopping them with conventional force, his book was quite scary in terms of timeline, we're lucky gorbachev got power but in his opinion after their military advance stalled in germany they'd make a last throw of the dice with a nuclear strike at a large british city like Birmingham and we'd retaliate by obliterating of all cities Kiev
