Of course it's fake, it's a GAME!
The T2K world is the way it is because otherwise the premise simply wouldn't work. The game was written in the 80's back when the cold war was still running strong and the Red Devil was still seen as a serious threat. You only need to take a look at some of the books written in the period, even as late as 1989-90 and you can see the pesimistic attitude even some "official" commentators had about the outcome of a NATO-PACT war.
Since then much more accurate information has come to light on the true status of the communist nations, HOWEVER, we must approach T2K from the cold war perspective, otherwise
Twilight:2000 simply couldn't work as a setting.
Therefore, it really doesn't matter what the true result might have been should the east and west face off. We must work with what's been presented and expand on it. How it came to be is of only minor importance.
