For US:4 WG, 3 ITA or
3 WG, 1 ITA if you play Marshall Plan headline.
if you draw blokade still 4 WG, 3 ITA.
You can play blokade with discarding 3 ops USSR card. You have too much option for that. For example: Socialist Governments, Suez Crisis, Comecon, Warshaw Pact, De gaulle, and if you've played Containment on headline you can discard: Fidel, Vietnam Revolts, Arab-Israeli War, Korean War (don't discard De-Stal or Decol. before turn 3 if possible)
Leaving WG emtpty is not a good move. (IMHO)
For USSR:
4 E.Germany
4 Poland
1 Yugo or Austria
