I’m always aghast by the narrative that “the one major war… fought during the Cold War… was the Vietnam War” that blatantly gaslights the Korean War as if it never existed. I’m curious if that is a generational blind spot that continues to fetish the disaster of Vietnam which was really just a proxy war of far less significance and risk compared to the Korean War. In Korea, we saw significant direct engagement between China and the U.S., not to mention 300k+ Red Army forces and the Soviet Advisory Group stationed in North Korea. The Korean people endured a U.S. military command who seriously entertained the use of nukes but for Eisenhower in command at NATO, whereas in Vietnam we never engaged directly with China nor the Soviet Union. It seems to me that the Korean War is the prime Cold War example of how the U.S. is not capable of fighting and winning a complex and expanded land war against a large opponent half way around the world, whereas Vietnam was just a fetish perpetuation of war. It was during the Korea conflict that Eisenhower came to realize the metastasizing Industrial Military Complex, not Vietnam. Today I can buy consumer goods made in Vietnam which is likely more hospitable and presents less risk than China to U.S. offshore manufacturing base. I cannot buy anything made in North Korea.
Kelly, In regards to your comment on Russia’s intervention in the Civil War, and actual plans with US to link TransContinental and Trans Siberian railways over the Bering Straits (via Russias sale of Alaska). These plans failed due to the British backed assignation of both Lincoln and Czar Alexander IiII. The best source material recently is available at CanadianPatriot.org ( Matthew Ehret’s “The Clash of Two Americas volume 1-4). Suggest you do interview with Ehret on this topic.
