[...] like "Five-Year Plan" for instance. If the scoring card is chosen, since it is associated with both sides, it must be discarded. So there is at least one way to keep discarding a particular region card from play, but it is highly unlikely since it is picked from the opponent's hand randomly.
I have seen in many occasions the Five Year Plan being played by the USSR on AR 7 with the player having only a scoring card left in his hands for the USA to pick.
So getting rid of a scoring card with the Five Year Plan is not as unlikely as it may seem. It is mostly a matter of good hand management.
The Five Year Plan, in some given situations, is an interesting event for the USSR to get.
