Russia would have won hands down. Even including the A-bomb.
I'm shocked that such a collection of intelligence overlooked the most important fact. The biggest advantage Russia has over every other nation is land. Like the capmaign against the germans, the russians would not have hesitated to trade land for time and used scorched earth tactics.
Combine that with the russians love for sniping and long range battle, and the US would have been beaten like the proverbial red-headed step-child.
During the height of the Battle for Stalingrad, the germans were losing about two soldiers every half hour to enemy sniper fire.
Air superiority does not mean a thing if you have no soldiers to hold the rubble left by the bombers.
