What would be the geopolitical implications of Douglas Macarther being allowed to use nuclear weapons against the PRC during the Chinese offensive in Korea?

I read a book called "The Ravens" about CIA operations using Bronco observation planes in that area. Supposedly if you got shot down, your chances of survival were immensely low.
We weren't legally or officially allowed to be there. The information about our operations in north Laos for the Hmong were not released until 1998.

Oh as for your question, probably not much. It'd take more nukes than the US had to even kill half of China.

Also, it'd be asking for the Soviets to intervene fully in Korea. Maybe spark a ground war in Europe.

the USSR would probably openly join the war, possibly using their own nukes in tactical strikes on the UN or invading Europe to split the American forces

You could do a number by just hitting their big cities, though.

America wins the veitnam war without firing a shot.

The Soviets themselves wanted to nuke China because they thought Mao Zedong had gotten out of hand and was making his own nuclear weapons.
