And the little haberdasher killed Patton for suggesting we wipe out the Soviet Union after the war ended.

That was the correct plan. But by not doing that, the MIC got very very big and many US Industrialists also benefited.
Truman was all-in for the Global UN agenda. The Korean Conflict fiasco was a “UN” operation.

At least they let MacArthur live after he wanted to nuke Chyna.

Today, they are saying that Ukraine’s use of cluster bombs will save lives overall.
Down the road, they will say that Ukraine’s use of Tactical Nukes, will “save lives” overall.

It was the same rationale used in the decision to drop the A-Bombs on Japan.

There may have been a desire to kill General MacArthur, but with Patton and Secretary of Defense Forrestal suffering deaths deemed suspicious, assassinating him may have been considered a bridge too far. MacArthur was tremendously popular, as evidenced by the huge parade in New York and his popular "Old Soldiers Never Die" speech before Congress, both after Truman fired him.

The workaround was using Eisenhower, another popular general but one more amenable to the Eastern Establishment, to get the GOP nomination, blocking both Senator Robert Taft, an isolationist conservative, and MacArthur, who was not willing to play hardball politics.
