This article gives a nice, brief analysis.

As many of you old forum hands remember, I'm a late Cold War Soviet military apologist (see
http://forum.juhlin.com/showthread.php?t=897), but I can't really find too much wrong with the arguments presented in the article. The one U.S./NATO strength that I contend is overstated in the piece is overseas military bases. Insofar as a war in Eastern Europe, I this this point is somewhat mooted by Russia's interior lines of communication.
What's your take on the article? Is it as cut and dried as all that?
