USA controls Nigeria, Angola, Zaire, and Algeria. South Africa is 3/1.
USA controls Venezuela and Columbia, and USSR controls Chile.
USA controls South Korea and Taiwan. Soviets control Japan.
USA controls Israel and Lebanon, and the Soviets control Egypt.
Removing 1 soviet influence from South Africa, Chile, Japan, and Egypt, gives US:
2 battlegrounds, 2 from eliminating a Soviet battleground, 1 from eliminating a USSR country adjacent to the US, 3 for breaking USSR presence, 4 more from Asia domination, 5 from Africa control, 2 from breaking SA presence, 3 more from SA domination, 3 from breaking ME presence, 2 more from ME domination.
This is a total of 27 points. I do not believe you can get any higher score.
