If you have to headline US Aid, then play the scoring card as your first turn, couldn't the USSR headline The Derg to take away US control of Ethiopia before scoring? I see that it is in the US hand in your game, but you didn't mention it as one of the critical cards to hold, so it could certainly end up headlined by USSR.
Thank you for watching. The US Elections is the most obvious headline that would foil the US plans. The main point is that if USSR is not very careful in its headline, and play passively, he stands a chance of not being able to respond to the insta-win condition. The Derg is one of the head lines that would prevent the Auto-win. Can you find others?

I'm thinking that USSR headlining Mengitsu Haile Mariam could open up a lot of other options as well.
