There is no way that a Iraqi T-72 stood any chance against the abrams , the Iraqi T-72 was severly outdated with severly outdated ammo with severly incapable soldiers , thats the same as saying the Mig-29 which in my opinion is a good aircraft stands absolutely no chance against any F-16 because NATO destroyed them easly with AWACS.
Now im sure most of you would agree that west leads in tehnology but severly underestimating Russian tehnology just has no sense there are many areas where they are actually ahead.

Now on the topic its almost impossible too view this as a scenario because NATO had defencive doctrine aswell as the USSR , they both thought the other one would attack and never seek to view themself as agressor to a certain extent so its very hard to imagine this scenario when both focused on trying too stop the other one's invasion and the USSR even focused on China alot during some period of time , I for one do not see this scenario as something anyone would calculate that is without considering nuclear weapons which would result in MAD.
