Would dropping nuclear bombs on Chinese cities during the Korean War or on Dien Bien Phu during the Vietnam War have been justified like the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Consider it from the point of view of "number of soldier lives spared", as always.

No, Nagasaki and Hiroshima were the US' way of preemptively calling Russia's bluff and proving we were willing to use nukes if we thought it prudent. Using it on China and Vietnam would've just meant we didn't give a fuck about any foreign nations which would cause untold dissent among other 3rd world allies fighting communism.

I've always thought that the U.S should of ran wild with nukes while they were the only ones with them and air superiority. Nuke all the major population centers of asia, Russia, Africa and the middle east. Don't even bother invading, just drop a bunch of bombs so that there is no population, no infrastructure, no organization, etc. It wouldnt be clean but it would ensure united states dominance for centuries to come.

If you're dropping nukes, you don't have to justify it to anyone.

Given that the United States was able to secure dominance for centuries to come without chimping out on the entire world, that seems really unnecessary.

You REALLY overestimate the efficacy of nukes
