1) On one turn, I (USSR) headlined Red Scare/Purge, while my opponent headlined ABM treaty. ABM treaty is a 3 ops card, so RS/P goes off first. Is it then in the discard pile, available for ABM to take? We ruled, no, both should be resolved and then discarded, but it wasn't clear.
I am guessing that you are referring to SALT Negotiations, not ABM Treaty. AMB Treaty raises DEFCON one level and lets you play Ops equal to card value. I would guess that if US headlined RS/RP, then the USSR ABM Treaty would only be 3 Oops, but I am not sure.
I would think that SALT Negotiations could pull a discarded headline event that has been resolved first, since one card is fully resolved, then the other is played out.
