Only Nixon could go to China.

China probably owes us more than any other nation. We kept it from being divvied up by Europeans in the 19th century, we saved it from the Japanese and we kept them from being nuked by the Soviets.

Remember when the president was a man? I wonder how things would turn out today.

Wasn't a Tactical Nuke used in '69? Or was that 1970?
It has been mentioned in several threads over the years.

We should have let MacArthur have his way with them. He wanted to launch an invasion of China directly with National Chinese out of Taiwan.
Which might have been a bluff, but I bet it would have gotten the ChiCom's to back down out of Korea at the very least.

We should have let MacArthur have his way with them. Absolutely. And Curtis LeMay should have been allowed to knock off North Vietnam. Real Americans don't fight wars based on re-election polls.
To: buccaneer81
In all likelihood, had MacArthur had his way, we wouldn't have had a Soviet bloc Eastern Europe, Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam, Chinese entanglement in the US economy, and a troublesome North Korea right now.
Ah, what could have been......

"This story came out via a different source, sometime around 1980,"Did that story have a ChiCom confirmation?

USSR planned nuclear attack on China in 1969 but shelved the idea because Ping Ping was still in the Moscow Zoo

If we could only go back and change it all...

Only Nixon could go to China.Vulcan philosophy.
To: buccaneer81
Actually, it was one of the newsweeklies back in the '70s. You know, back before they were all socialist mouthpieces.
