After much pondering, Dan R Allen favored us with:
This is just baloney. I don't believe a word of it. China was not hoping any such thing. And Russia was in no position to be "rolling over Europe." It was completely trashed by Germany only eight years earlier and it nuclear capability was something stolen, not developed in house. Further, it was such a fledgling industry they couldn't possibly have prevail against the USA. Plus we were still fully mobilized and gaining steam after our WWII victory. Of all the nations on this planet we were among the most untouched by WWII. None of the fighting was done on our soil, and the war had only made us stronger by mobilizing our industry.It was. The Korean war was basically a civil war. The North Koreans already controlled part of Korean; hence their distinction as 'North' Koreans. Our scope was limited to ensuring that they did not overthrow the government, and thus control all of the Korean peninsula. The Chinese were likely _hoping_ that we would start a full scale war with them; they were expecting backup from the Russians. Once that battle started, there would have been nothing to stop the Russians from rolling over Europe.
I've got to stop this. It's killing me.
