Militarily? Not at all. The Soviets had more nukes than the US at some points in history so they are overstated, but any non-nuclear conflict would end in an overwhelming NATO victory. The Soviets' navy and air force couldn't compete with the US', which means that they'd just crush any forms of logistics for Soviet troops and kill them.
