We should have started WW3 a few days after the end of WW2. We would have won. We had the nukes, they didn't. It's harsh. But it's true. We could have knocked down the USSR, then gone on to help CKS knock out Mao. Imagine how the world would be today, had we bit the bullet, back in the second half of the 1940s.
It's hard to imagine such a world. Though they didn't know it at the time, General MacArthur was right all along.

Indeed he was. As was Patton. As was Mitchell. They never listen to the visionaries. Too impractical I suppose. Plus, for us Americans, the idea of a truly preemptive war on a grand scale is a no go. Our minds think like the Hobbits. The world needs to be about to go off a cliff before we'll do anything. Next time, it might just go off the cliff, and be in darkness for 1000 or more years.
