Exactly so.
Defer your reactions only enables more of the same.
One of these days, a missile will have some kind of explosive inside and you wouldn’t know until it hit....................
In 1950 , both MacArthur and LeMay wanted to use American nukes to decimate the on-coming Red Chinese Army and retreating NK forces .
Truman disallowed that and went on to fire MacArthur .
For lack of American forceful resolve to WIN the war and crush the enemy ( before they too developed nukes ) brought on the present day situation on the Korean peninsula , established the Communist state of the PRC in China , resulted in the ‘Cultural Revolution ‘in China , resulted in the Chinese takeover of Tibet and sustained challenges to India . Resulted in the VIETNAM WAR ....Is resulting in the slow motion Chinese take over of the entire South China Sea and hegemony throughout SEA , and will probably result in a limited Pacific region ‘world war’ at some point in the future .
Truman should have listened to LeMay then . Is it too late now ? Probably . Seize victory when it is first available . Don’t wait .
