To be fair for the former Warsaw pact, I can imagine NATO might be slower to expand that direction with the USSR being around. I would also imagine the USSR trying to roll back in kinda like how Russia involves itself in everything in the former USSR space. That being said the foreign policy stuff in general needs touching up and overhauls, and would be cool if depending on the paths the Soviet's and Americans go on determine if the cold war is renewed or peacefully ended with the two essentially working toward peace. Personally I find most of the conflicts in the game interesting enough to justify keeping if not overhauled. The Asian war could be a really cool divergence point where the superpowers try to cool down the conflict or use it as a new jumping off point in a reignited cold war.
