Nixon, MacArthur, Nixon, Nixon

MacArthur did want to nuke China. He made it his business to try to nudge the American government into doing that. And Nixon both muted the idea of nuking China or nuking. North Korea, I think, he actually gave the order to North Korea, but they just didn't pay attention to it. That's why I always imagine the what if if he had actually been elected president in 1960? How does he not end up pressing the button over the Cuban Missile Crisis? Or at the very least, authorizing an invasion of Cuba?"
