Should’ve taken Douglas McArthur’s advise.

Patton had similar advice about Russia. We are a paper tiger now and the world pretty much knows it. The only way to fix that would be stomp the crap out of some country and leave. The worst thing we’ve done is stay in Iraq and Afghanistan all this time with nothing to show for it. Unfortunately, our own people can’t stomach something like that anymore anyway. Give it 50 years, and we might as well fly a chinese flag here cause if they have not beaten us militarily, they will have financially anyway.

I sort of agree on that one. The only thing that brings me pause is wondering how the world’s perception of nukes may have changed, had we finished the war with them and people noticed that they are not the terrible world radiating devices we were all led to believe.

IOW, it could have ended that war but created a world where nuclear weapons use was no more morally unacceptabe than carpet bombing.
