Just give me 50, 75 tops, nukes, and I'll give you the entire Korean peninsula.
Eh, have a few more in the stockpile in case Russia or China overreact or something

macarthur was just seething because he botched the liberation of the peninsula and was getting his shit pushed in by the PLA chinks as a result and wanted to use nukes to save face
Ridgeway cleaned his mess up no nukes needed
mccarthur being a heckin based loose cannon unafraid to take the war to the Chinese mainland is just an ex post facto invention by retards who arent actually looking at what happened

Why was MacArthur in Manila given full access to military intercepts of Japanese communications but the Pearl Harbor commanders didn't? Why on the morning of December 7th every Pacific outpost received alerts of imminent attacks except for Pearl Harbor, despite intercepts clearly showing it was a target?

FDR wanted Pearl to be attacked so America would have an excuse to enter the war. That's why he forced Japan into war with the oil embargo and Hull Note ultimatum.

Japan had already planned war with the US even before the energy embargo.
Its also giga retarded to ignore 30 plus years of strategic rivalry in the pacifico between the US and Japan in the pacifc.
Lastly in your shizo theory you got off nazi Instagram or pol did FDR also know that the japanese were going to attack the philipines the very Next day? If so then why did he let both happen when just One was clearly enough to get the US involved in the war? Why would you let them strike your Navy and get cripples when just loosing a couple aircraft and a few thousand men in the philipines would have been suficient?
Putt all this in prespective I that ethier you are retarded or FDR was retarded. Im leaning towards the first one

Because they were dumbasses who didn't think about the time zones. Philippines and Hawaii had almost 24 hours between them due to time zones.
