This goes back to 1951. Our first war after WW2. Truman fired McArthur who wanted to use tactical nuclear weapons. 35-40 thousand dead Americans. This war set the stage that America would not fight to win a war. Truman's decision won him lasting praise.* China was still under the grip of Mao. 85 million Chinese were slaughtered under Mao.

*not mine.

Yep.The die was cast decades ago that the US was NOT committed to "winning" ANY war thereafter, but only maintaining stalemates. A State Dept. moled with Commies made sure of IT, and bear responsibility for the situation we have today - including 0bama, the socialist media and Academe.

Though the US has held every measure of clout and influence available from the 1950s until 2000, the US Ruling Elites NEVER made the issue of NK affect China's "Most Favored Nation" status.

This is all part of the end result of FDR Dem-Commies marrying the Rockefeller GOP Globalists of the NWO. That is one Ugly %$#@! Chicken come home to roost.

No big argument here but it is useful to recall, for historical accuracy--the US was fighting under the UN flag in Korea.

We were the largest contingent by far but there were units of troops from a number of foreign countries fighting along side us--sort of like Iraq and Afghanistan, complete with the pretense of the fight being under the auspices of the UN Security Council.

FootNote: The SC vote was taken on a day when the Russian guy was absent. Otherwise, he would have vetoed the resolution, the Korean War would never have happened, and the whole peninsula would have been communist the whole time thereafter.
