    It’s a shame that the US did not completely remove the regime under the Korean war tbh.

      That would’ve entailed a full on war with China. Which some people - most notably MacArthur - were ok with. I think his plan involved nuking as much of the PLA as possible.

      Personally, I think we should’ve done some version of Operation Unthinkable and eliminated the USSR. Alas.

    North Korea, which test fired an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) last week, condemned the NCG on Monday for “openly discussing the use of nukes”

    That’s rich coming from NK. As if they don’t threaten this on a quarterly basis.
