Very true, though western forces feel at ease having only a few bumbling psions and occultists, due to their massive lead in another area, high technology. The Russians have made great advances there as well, adapting many of Tesla's theories into working models despite the CIA having all of the sensitive docs.
The only reason the US managed to claw ahead despite their destructive policies in research and schizophrenic paranoia, is their global access to ancient high-tech sites and dominant contact with the Federation. Bob Lazar's account of his time reverse-engineering a saucer is pretty telling. I'm sure the Russians have some hidden toys as well, but the US had portal tech since the 60s and modern forcefields since the 00s. Any non-scripted confrontation would make an atomic war look like a joke.
