Korean War ( Shifting the balance ) 11/15

right. But in the fifties the Soviet Union received financial aid from the Bank of England. And they got their nuclear secrets fresh from the United States. The truth of the matter is this. Every conflict is kept contained and managed by laws of economics. There was hardly ever any real threat of a sudden nuclear war to the world. But the Red Chinese knew USA could have taken them out, so they backed off.

I guess I can agree with you. I guess USA didn't want so much blodshed, afterall, they could not gain too much.

@Pvtm4a1 Thats true, the US never lost one major conventional battle in Vietnam. And the Socialist celebrated Tet offensive was draining all of the Vietcong and north vietnamese strenght. the Tet offensive was a total failure, though the media of the time and many still today think it was a masterstroke. Indeed trying to launch a conventional offensive on the worlds greatest military power, its ridiculous.
