he would have nuked korea and china, likely resulting in some hardcore soviet retaliation

I really really don't think the US will be able to sustain such a large battlefront without the public going against it
Especially after WW2
America becomes a pariah state, France and Italy elect communist governments, what's left of the Chinese army overrun Korea and slaughter anything that opposes them.

France already had a communist/socialist government. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripartisme
And the Italian Communist Party membership surged to 2 million members before CIA/Catholic Church/ Italian Americans fucked them right before the election.
I once read America purposefully left South Korea weakly defended in order to trigger the war, and thus take back the North. Of course, it's maoist revisionism, but is there some truth behind that theory ?

Uncle Stalin was the one who gave Mr Sung the go ahead to unite the Korean peoples under one banner of starvation. Not China.

Oops, sorry. I assumed wrong, since the guy that told me this theory identified himself as maoist.
