Harvard Belfer Center reports China is winning the economic race with the US. This represents a victory of tyranny over freedom. Inaction has its price. Truman's inaction against China during the Korean war made the World a much more dangerous place since China assisted both Pakistan and North Korea to obtain nuclear weapons; China consolidated its takeover of Tibet causing much suffering. Lives could have been saved in Vietnam if Truman had attacked China during the Korean War. Inaction against China during the Korean War had its price. What would be the consequences of inaction against Iran? It was not only Truman who failed to listen to McArthur during the Korean War endangering America, today American officials are deliberately betraying their nation and sabotaging America power continuing the erosion of American power.

On August 17, 2022 Judith Bergman wrote in the Gatestone Institute "China Is Winning the Economic Race with the US...The [Harvard Belfer Center] report, "The Great Economic Rivalry: China Vs. the US," predicts that at the current rate China will overtake the US economically within a decade.

"When it comes to trade, China has now displaced the US. "When this century began, China was knocking on the door of the WTO and the U.S. was the leading trading partner of most major economies. Today, China has overtaken the U.S. to become the largest trading partner for nearly every major nation... by 2018, 130 countries traded more with China than they did with the U.S....." — The Belfer Report.

"China's trade policies are not a matter of simply creating more wealth for China, but as with most things that China does, a way to increase China's power and other countries' dependency on it.

"Today, the U.S. is the world's largest debtor; China is the largest creditor.

"When it comes to manufacturing, China already displaced the US a decade ago. "China is now the world's largest manufacturer and exporter of scores of essential goods, including 90% of refined rare earth minerals, 80% of solar panels, 50% of computers, and 45% of electric vehicles." — The Belfer Report.

"Crucially, China is severely challenging the US when it comes to innovation.... In 2013, the US was the number one top innovating country, according to the Bloomberg Innovation Index, but by 2020, it was not even in the top 10, having fallen to number 11.... China's laser-like focus on frontier technologies has positioned it to dominate races like 5G and AI in the future.

"China is determined to see this development to its goal of becoming the dominant power in the world by 2049.

"What this new world economic order means for the future is probably difficult to imagine for the many who have grown up with the US as the leading world power and the accompanying celebrated values of freedom, democracy, and capitalism, taken for granted by so many.

"China's economic rise and the US response -- or lack of such -- will determine the predominant values of the 21st century -- will it be China's authoritarianism and disregard for freedom, democracy, and human rights or those of the US and the West?"

On June 6, 2023 Lawrence Franklin wrote in the Gatestone Institute "China's Space Program: Designed to Defeat the United States

"...The aggressive nature of China's space program is particularly obvious in its anti-satellite projects. The proximity of these Chinese anti-satellite vehicles clearly reveals the mission to degrade and/or blind collection and transmission of intelligence data by US systems. Another Chinese anti-satellite project features a satellite with a grappling hook, designed to capture US satellites as an immediate prelude to war. Beijing is planning to win a war in space as part of its reported overall objective of replacing the US as the dominant power on earth. One assessment estimates that fully 84% of China's space launches are military in nature -- indicating that the CCP may well be determined to emerge as the only remaining superpower..."

China Is Winning the Economic Race with the US. This represents a victory of tyranny over freedom which could have been prevented if Truman had listened to MacArthur and attacked China during the Korean war. This represents a crystal ball for those designing American policy vs Iran.

What would be the consequences of inaction against Iran? Inaction has its price. Lives could have been saved in Vietnam if Truman had attacked China during the Korean War. Truman's inaction against China during the Korean war made the World a much more dangerous place since China assisted both Pakistan and North Korea to obtain nuclear weapons; China consolidated its takeover of Tibet causing much suffering.

Professor Alan Brinkley described General MacArthur's will to attack China and Truman's reluctance during the Korean War "On June 24, 1950, the armies of communist North Korea swept across their southern border and invaded the pro-Western half of the Korean peninsula to the south. Within days, they had occupied much of South Korea, including Seoul, its capital.

"...The Truman administration responded quickly to the invasion...On June 30, the United States ordered its own ground forces into Korea, and Truman appointed General Douglas MacArthur to command the overwhelmingly American UN operations there.

"...After a surprise American invasion at Inchon in September had routed the North Korean forces from the south and sent them fleeing back across the 38th parallel, Truman gave MacArthur permission to pursue the communists into their own territory. His aim, as an American-sponsored UN resolution proclaimed in October, was to create “a unified, independent and democratic Korea.”

"...For several weeks, MacArthur’s invasion of North Korea proceeded smoothly. On October 19, the capital, Pyongyang, fell to the UN forces. Victory seemed near—until the new communist government of China, alarmed by the movement of American forces toward its border, intervened. By November 4, eight divisions of the Chinese army had entered the war. The UN offensive stalled and then collapsed. Through December 1950, outnumbered American forces fought a bitter, losing battle against the Chinese divisions, retreating at almost every juncture. Within weeks, communist forces had pushed the Americans back below the 38th parallel once again and had captured the South Korean capital of Seoul a second time. By mid-January 1951 the rout had ceased; and by March the UN armies had managed to regain much of the territory they had recently lost, taking back Seoul and pushing the communists north of the 38th parallel once more.

"...From the start, Truman was determined to avoid a direct conflict with China, which he feared might lead to a new world war. Once China entered the war, he began seeking a negotiated solution to the struggle, and for the next two years he insisted that there be no wider war. But he faced a formidable opponent in General MacArthur, who resisted any limits on his military discretion. The United States was fighting the Chinese, he argued. It should therefore attack China itself, if not through an actual invasion, then at least by bombing communist forces massing north of the Chinese border. In March 1951, MacArthur indicated his unhappiness in a public letter to House Republican leader Joseph W. Martin that concluded: “There is no substitute for victory.”

Brinkley, Alan. American History: Connecting with the Past Vol 2 (p. 745). McGraw-Hill Higher Education

Truman did not listen to General MacArthur and fired him for his insistence on the need to attack China but today we can see that General MacArthur was right. The consequences of Truman's inaction are catastrophic:

1. China has reportedly assisted both Pakistan and North Korea with their nuclear weapons program.

2. Vietnam: How many lives could have been saved during the Vietnam war if Truman had attacked China during the Korean War?

Chen Jian wrote in the Cambridge University Press website "The Vietnam War was an international conflict. Not only were the Americans engaged in large-scale military operations in a land far away from their own, but the two major Communist powers, China and the Soviet Union, were also deeply involved. In the case of China, scholars have long assumed that Beijing played an important role in supporting Hanoi's efforts to fight the United States."

2. China would not have been able to continue its occupation of Tibet if Truman had attacked China during the Korean War.

In 1949, China invaded Tibet and initiated a massive transfer of Chinese civilians into Tibet.

In his 5-point peace plan the Dalai Lama stated:

“When the newly formed People's Republic of China invaded Tibet in 1949/50, it created a new source of conflict. This was highlighted when, following the Tibetan national uprising against the Chinese and my flight to India in 1959, tensions between China and India escalated into the border war in 1962. Today large numbers of troops are again massed on both sides of the Himalayan border and tension is once more dangerously high.

The real issue, of course, is not the Indo-Tibetan border demarcation. It is China's illegal occupation of Tibet, which has given it direct access to the Indian sub-continent. The Chinese authorities have attempted to confuse the issue by claiming that Tibet has always been a part of China. This is untrue. Tibet was a fully independent state when the People's Liberation Army invaded the country in 1949/50...

To improve relations between the Tibetan people and the Chinese, the first requirement is the creation of trust. After the holocaust of the last decades in which over one million Tibetans - one sixth of the population - lost their lives and at least as many lingered in prison camps because of their religious beliefs and love of freedom, only a withdrawal of Chinese troops could start a genuine process of reconcilitation. The vast occupation force in Tibet is a daily reminder to the Tibetans of the oppression and suffering they have all experienced. A troop withdrawal would be an essential signal that in future a meaningful relationship might be established with the Chinese, based on friendship and trust...

The massive transfer of Chinese civilians into Tibet in violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention (1949) threatens the very existence of the Tibetans as a distinct people.”

Today, in the whole of Tibet 7.5 million Chinese settlers have already been sent, outnumbering the Tibetan population of 6 million. In central and western Tibet, now referred to by the Chinese as the “Tibet Autonomous Region,”

Chinese sources admit the 1.9 million Tibetans already constitute a minority of the region’s population. These numbers do not take the estimated 300,000-500,000 troops in Tibet into account – 250,000 of them in so-called Tibet Autonomous Region…For the Tibetans to survive as a people, it is imperative that the population transfer is stopped and Chinese settlers return to China. Otherwise, Tibetans will soon be no more than a tourist attraction and relic of a noble past...

Human rights violations in Tibet are among the most serious in the world. Discrimination is practiced in Tibet under a policy of "apartheid" which the Chinese call "segregation and assimilation". Tibetans are, at best, second class citizens in their own country. Deprived of all basic democratic rights and freedoms, they exist under a colonial administration in which all real power is wielded by Chinese officials of the Communist Party and the army.

Although the Chinese government allows Tibetans to rebuild some Buddhist monasteries and to worship in them, it still forbids serious study and teaching of religion. Only a small number of people, approved by the Communist Party, are permitted to join the monasteries.

While Tibetans in exile exercise their democratic rights under a constitution promulgated by me in 1963, thousands of our countrymen suffer in prisons and labour camps in Tibet for their religious or political convictions... ” https://www.dalailama.com/messages/tibet/five-point-peace-plan

Truman had an opportunity to stop China during the Korean war, because of Truman's inaction China assisted North Korea and Pakistan nuclear programs and brought much suffering and destruction in Tibet. Because of Truman's inaction now China, the evil Communist regime that oppresses its own people, is on its way of making real its strategic goal to "surpass and replace the United States as the world’s premier superpower."

On August 2016 Andrew Miller wrote in the Trumpet "Americans think in four-year election cycles. Chinese leaders think in terms of centuries. Just leaf through the glossy, cream-colored, gold-flecked pages of The Governance of China. This anthology of political theories by Chinese President Xi Jinping is considered almost sacred scripture in Beijing.

Inaction has its price. Truman's inaction against China during the Korean war made the World a much more dangerous place since China assisted both Pakistan and North Korea to obtain nuclear weapons; China consolidated its takeover of Tibet causing much suffering. Lives could have been saved in Vietnam if Truman had attacked China during the Korean War. Inaction against China during the Korean War had its price. What would be the consequences of inaction against Iran?

Part 2: How did we reach this point? It was not only Truman who failed to listen to McArthur during the Korean War, today American officials are deliberately betraying their nation and sabotaging American economic power.

American officials are not defending the interests of the American people but those of the globalists who are trying to impose Marxism in America.

There are four pillars in the globalists' strategy to impose Marxism in America: IMF, CRT, IRS, ESG

1. Critical Race Theory (CRT) is Race Marxism

One of the founders of the BLM movement described herself as a trained Marxist.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2020/06/25/blm-co-founder-describes-herself-as-trained-marxist/amp/

James Lindsey's book "Race Marxism" explains "Critical Race Theory is a reinvention of an older, terrible idea, Marxism, using race "as the central construct for understanding inequality" in place of economic class. That is, Critical Race Theory is Race Marxism. The evidence of this claim is so overwhelming upon even casual examination that it is a shock that it isn't immediately plain to everyone who encounters it. Therefore, this book by James Lindsay, the leading investigator of Critical Race Theory, serves less to make the case that Critical Race Theory is Race Marxism and more to serve as a long permission slip to the public to call Critical Race Theory what it plainly is. Race Marxism exists to tell the truth about Critical Race Theory in unprecedented clarity and depth. Across its six weighty chapters, Lindsay explains what Critical Race Theory is, what it believes, where it comes from, how it operates, and what we can do about it now that we know what we're dealing with. It exposes Critical Race Theory for what it is by ranging widely across its own literature and a survey of some of the darkest philosophical currents of the last three hundred years in Western thought. Readers will come away understanding Critical Race Theory and be able to speak the truth about it with authority: Critical Race Theory is Race Marxism, and, like all Marxist Theories before it, it will not work this time."

Listen to James Lindsey podcast explaining that CRT is "Race Marxism" below:

https://newdiscourses.com/2022/02/critical-race-theory-is-race-marxism/

This strategy goes hand in hand with the open border policy following the Cloward- Piven plan to force Marxism in America as explained in the link below.

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2009/11/clowardpiven_government.html

2. The fight against "climate change" is actually a cover to destroy the centrality of the US dollar in the global financial system and transfer power to an international organization like the IMF.

The Biden Regime claims they embraced the “Great Reset” to fight Climate Change but it will have little actual environmental benefit. On January 21, 2021 the Epoch Times reported “Rejoining the Paris climate agreement as it stands now will have devastating economic consequences for the United States, with little actual environmental benefit, according to experts…

“Because there is really no teeth to the Paris climate accord, developing countries are getting a free pass in terms of their emissions…It’s likely that the Paris climate accord is not going to reach its intended goal.”

“…Anthony Watts, senior research fellow of environment and climate at The Heartland Institute, said according to their analysis, the agreement would cost the United States “about 2.7 million jobs by 2025 due to scaling back parts of industries. Now that would have been about 440,000 manufacturing jobs that we would have lost.” https://www.theepochtimes.com/rejoining-paris-climate-deal-will-have-devastating-economic-consequences-experts-say_3665887.html

The “Great Reset” will have little actual environmental benefit but devastating economic consequences. The globalists want to end the centrality of the United States financial system in the global economy, they want an international organization like the IMF to have more power. With a weaker economy America will be less capable of influencing others through sanctions, it will be less capable of defending its interests abroad.

The IMF’s SDRs replacement of the centrality of the USD will undermine America’s sovereignty and democracy. Because of the “Great Reset” the IMF’s board of directors now has more power and influence in America.

In the last decades, the IMF imposed “structural reform” programs in over 90 countries. In the 1990s the IMF’s intervention led to the economic meltdown of, for example, Mexico, Brazil and Russia. It seems that now because of Obama and Biden America will become more vulnerable to its policies.

On September 30, 2016, during the Obama administration, the IMF News reported it added the Chinese Renminbi to Special Drawing Rights Basket. At the time the US had the most voting power and influence on the IMF board of directors and could have prevented this.

“Renminbi joins U.S. dollar, euro, yen, and British pound in SDR basket. This change represents an important milestone for IMF, SDR, and China….

Effective October 1, the IMF is adding the Chinese renminbi (RMB) to the basket of currencies that make up the Special Drawing Right, or SDR.

The SDR is an international reserve asset created by the IMF in 1969 to supplement its member countries’ official reserves.

The IMF’s Executive Board agreed to change the SDR’s basket currency composition in November 2015, and the decision now enters into force after a period of transition.

The RMB joins the SDR basket in addition to the previously included four currencies—the U.S. dollar, the euro, the Japanese yen, and the British pound (see chart).

In an interview, Siddharth Tiwari (Director of the IMF’s Strategy, Policy, and Review Department) and Andrew Tweedie (Director of the IMF’s Finance Department) explain why this change took place and its significance for the IMF, the SDR, China, and the international monetary system as a whole.

IMF News: What does the renminbi’s inclusion in the SDR basket mean for China?

Tiwari : The RMB’s inclusion is an important milestone in the integration of the Chinese economy into the global financial system. The IMF’s determination that the RMB is freely usable reflects China’s expanding role in global trade and the substantial increase in the international use and trading of the renminbi…”

https://www.imf.org/en/News/Articles/2016/09/29/AM16-NA093016IMF-Adds-Chinese-Renminbi-to-Special-Drawing-Rights-Basket

By including the Chinese renminbi in the SDR the IMF crowned it a reserve currency at the same level that the dollar, euro, yen, and British pound. China’s push to expand this “New World Money Order” threatens the centrality of the US Dollar.

On June 1, 2021 the Guardian reported Obama said “Biden ‘finishing the job’ my administration started” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jun/01/biden-obama-finishing-the-job-president

On July 13, 2021 Biden supported a controversial plan to strengthen the International Monetary Fund and replace the centrality of the US Dollar. Alex Newman wrote in the Epoch Times “…The Biden administration-backed International Monetary Fund (IMF) proposal to issue an unprecedented $650 billion U.S. dollars’ worth of new “Special Drawing Rights” (SDRs) this year alone will also help re-shape the international financial system. That is more than twice the total amount of SDRs created by the IMF throughout its entire history…The unprecedented new issuance, which has the support of both Beijing and Washington, will contribute to sidelining the U.S. dollar’s role as the global reserve currency, analysts warned. The Chinese Communist Party is expected to be a leading beneficiary…if the dollar were to lose its status to the SDR, the demand for dollars around the world would plummet. The resulting collapse in purchasing power would create an enormous crisis as Americans’ ability to purchase goods and services from abroad was decimated…”

A currency controlled by an international institution like the IMF is key for the globalists. The loss of status of the US dollar to the SDR will undermine America’s ability to impose economic sanctions in rogue countries like Iran or North Korea. If Trump ever returns to power the America he will receive will be much weaker, his ability to defend America’s interests abroad is being decimated. To read more about this please see my other article "Climate Change is a Trojan Horse". Please see link below https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/355934 3. The IRS abuses taxpayer dollars to advance leftwing causes illegally and unconstitutionally.

David Horowitz and John Perazzo wrote in Frontpage Magazine "On August 7, the Democrats passed a bill that authorizes a ten-year, $80 billion hike in federal funding for the Internal Revenue Service, which will make it possible for the IRS to hire 87,000 new agents and will make it larger than the Pentagon, the State Department, FBI, and Border Patrol combined. The IRS has already been weaponized as a national federal police force to harass, punish and obstruct conservative and religious organizations. Under President Obama, the IRS blocked the efforts of hundreds of Tea Party and other conservative groups to apply for tax-exempt status. The objective was to prevent those groups – and the millions of voters whom they might potentially have influenced – from having a voice in our democracy..."

4. Globalists use ESGs used to force corporations to align politically to their agenda

On August 12, 2022 the Gateway Pundit reported "The House of Representatives on Friday passed the $740 billion Bidenflation scam bill which will raise taxes on the middle class and make inflation worse. The Senate passed the ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ through budget reconciliation last week and Pelosi brought it to the House floor on Friday. The House voted 220 to 207 on party line. Not one Republican voted in favor of the bill. The bill will allocate $369 million for ‘green energy’ – it’s actually just one big Marxist slush fund. The bill will add 87,000 new IRS employees to harass and abuse working Americans and their political opponents."

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/08/pelosi-house-democrats-cheer-pass-massive-bidenflation-bill-will-raise-taxes-middle-class-video/

Were the 87,000 new IRS employees hired to also verify if companies are complying with the ESG index?

On August 11, 2022 Newsmax explained how Companies are being forced to align to woke agenda "Whole Foods founder John Mackey says in an interview published in the New York Post on Thursday that he regrets if his business management movement Conscious Capitalism has inadvertently pushed some companies to push a liberal agenda over good business practices. The trend of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) has businesses forcing such issues as green energy or gender or racial diversity mandates on board composition, Mackey, who is set to retire in September told Carrie Sheffield in an interview for the Post..."

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/whole-foods-john-mackey-conscious-capitalism/2022/08/11/id/1082779/

James Lindsay explains "ESG scoring is a financial racket, and we’re starting to learn how it works. The unfolding saga with huge American corporations like Anheuser-Busch (Bud Light) and Target are showing us a glimpse of what’s going on behind the curtain with this cartel scam that’s trapping our corporations. One tool of this cartel is the Human Rights Campaign’s “Corporate Equality Index,” which is concerned with “LGBTQ+” issues and is used as a scoring mechanism for the S, Social (Justice), part of ESG scoring..." (please listen to the full podcast in the link below) https://newdiscourses.com/2023/06/corporate-equality-index-esg-racket/

On September 20, 2021 Patrick Tyrrell reported in the Heritage Foundation "...Environmental, social, and governance responsibility advocates force companies to take positions in the political arena on issues that may have nothing to do with the company’s actual business activities. Typical targets include use of fossil fuels, Second Amendment rights, and welfare policy. In their self-righteous elitism, environmental, social, and governance responsibility advocates have no qualms about the use of shareholders’ assets—other people’s money—to promote their various political causes. Companies like Delta Air Lines provide air transportation to customers. Because people choose to buy their services, airline stewardesses, mechanics, and pilots, among others, have jobs. The employees of corporations can choose to donate a portion of their paychecks to woke causes if they choose. There is nothing wrong with that. People who own shares of corporations can also choose to invest in so-called social justice causes. Environmental, social, and governance responsibility advocates want to take that choice away by pressuring management to toe the woke line with their shareholders’ money. Much of environmental, social, and governance responsibility is virtue signaling done to elevate the reputations of senior executives. In reality, what they are signaling is their dereliction of their fiduciary duty to those who have invested in their companies..."

Gobyinc.com explains that the ESG is calculated in part from the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). "ESG score is a measure of a company's exposure to long-term environmental, social, and governance risks that are often overlooked during traditional financial analyses. These risks include things like energy efficiency, worker safety, and board diversity...

"Who calculates the ESG scores? ESG rating agencies are third-party companies that specialize in ESG scoring. While there are hundreds of rating agencies that provide ESG scores, some of the prominent ESG score providers include Bloomberg ESG Data Services, Dow Jones Sustainability Index, MSCI ESG Research, Sustainalytics, Thomson Reuters ESG Research Data, S&P Global, ISS ESG, Vigeo/EIRIS, Fitch Ratings, and Moody’s Investors Service.

"How is an ESG score calculated? Each ESG rating firm has developed individual criteria for assessing ESG performance based on data gathered from a variety of sources, including securities filings, voluntary business disclosures, governmental databases, academic research, and media reports. Any ESG data that a business has made available through voluntary disclosure frameworks, such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the Value Reporting Foundation’s (VRF) SASB Standards, CDP, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), can serve as a significant source of data for most rating providers. Using analysts and algorithms, the companies convert ESG metrics like a company's carbon emissions, board diversity, or safety procedures into siloed environmental, social, and governance scores, which are then merged into a single primary rating..."

The UN website explains "The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests."

https://sdgs.un.org/goals

The conceptual/intellectual foundation of the "17 Sustainable Development Goals" that the UN uses to calculate the SDGs were promoted by the World Economic Forum in 2015. The 2015 video below by the World Economic Forum called for a "Social Contract" to "transform the World by 2030" "Learn about the historic 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which outlines common action on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals that were adopted by over 150 world leaders in September 2015."

https://www.weforum.org/open-forum/event_sessions/a-social-contract-to-transform-our-world-by-2030

The same way States are forbidding Critical Race Theory (CRT) in schools, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) ratings should be forbidden in Wall Street. Globalists use the UN's "Sustainable Development Goals" (SDG) to calculate the ESG used to force corporations to align politically to their agenda.

Were the 87,000 new IRS employees hired also to verify if companies are complying with the ESG index? ESGs are a tool to subjugate freedom and impose tyranny.

There are four pillars in the globalists' strategy to impose Marxism in America: IMF, CRT, IRS, ESG.

American officials are not defending the interests of the American people but those of the globalists who are trying to impose Marxism in America.

Inaction well Russia and China seem front burner in Washington is there anything left to take “action” against Iran.

Israel should be allowed to operate independently on Iran but Washington has to manage everything it seems. Won’t let Israel deal with Iran IMHO.

What exactly should Truman have done? Nuked Beijing?

In 1953, Eisenhower brought an end to the Korean War by threatening to do just that.

Look......Asia’s crowded, and Europe’s too old. Africa is far too hot and Canada’s too cold. And South America stole our name.

Let’s drop the big one. They all hate us anyhow, so let’s drop the big one now.

I’m guessing Ezequiel Doiny was not an Army or Marine grunt in 1951.

Thank god that incompetent MacArthur didn’t get his way. About the time we put together a big enough force to take on China, Russia would have moved in Europe. We coulda had WWIII a mere 5 or 6 years after WWII.

Bright.

If they had not crossed the border and drawn China into the conflict, there would not be a North Korea today at all.

What are the consequences of inaction against Iran?

What do you suggest? Military action against Iran?

It is asinine to blame Truman for consequences he couldn’t have expected nor foreseen unless he’d had a magic crystal ball. You might as well accuse Adam & Eve of being responsible because none of it would have happened if they hadn’t been evicted from the Garden of Eden.

FDR and Truman’s Administrations were filled with Commie spies. Old Joe McCarthy is one of the best Americans ever!

People that don’t understand the ‘art of diplomacy’ always have a piece of earth, a cause, a national security threat, an evil enemy government, evil foreigners, or an evil religion that must be destroyed.
Will these information propagandists actually fight....nope....they usually have other “priorities.”

Their propaganda does work & will always work on the gullible and go with the herd crowd. Which isn’t wrong if you have honorable shepherds.... our shepherds aren’t honorable, they’re corrupt duplicitous assholes.

They burned up their stupid shit on the war on terror & are sliding down a cliff of irrelevancy for at least a decade.

Stalin died in March 1953...The cease-fire was signed in Korea in July 1953...

I think China and North Korea were more willing to negotiate after Stalin died...

Joe McCarthy yes. Douglas MacArthur, not so much. MacArthur had his one and only success with the occupation of Japan after the war. He went kinda asiatic with so much time in the east, and he was raised by a snooty aristocratic mother who infused him with a whiff of “royal” mentality that served him very well in that position.

But Joe was 100% on the beam. And was proven right after the USSR imploded and they let us pore through their archives. His accusations were spot on.

Oh, to be sure. And things are so much better today due to Truman's inaction.

Trite. So you think Truman should have widened the Korean war to attack China also. I would love to know exactly how you think THAT would have gone.
And don’t forget, this Chinese land war fully involves our post war military. Abd The USSR would have run wild with us otherwise occupied.
Also don’t forget to include a detailed discussion on how to tell the American people that WWII wasn’t enough, and that 5 years later we needed as a society to plunge back in. The American people were notoriously ambivalent about Korea already.

But fantasy football is really fun.
