The rainforest issue is a nonsequitur.

The Soviet union was too well armed to invade. Not every threat can be dealt with in the same manner. For instance, NK already has nukes so it would not make sense to invade but rather to try diplomatic and economic pressure.....Invasion made sense in Iraq...it was likely to succeed and 12 years of other types of pressure had failed to bring Saddam into compliance with numerous UNSCRs, etc...
