This was said at the beginning of the Korean war about the Battle of Incheon which would take place a few months later

Should be a giveaway considering the date, and location of the quote lol

Interesting quote from the time period, given his other hot takes from the Korean War were "Let's Nuke Half of China"

He actually got removed from command because he was genuinely too stupid to realize the USSR wouldn't let that happen without retaliation.

Not too stupid. He wanted the world war back.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 points 1 month ago

I count that as pretty freaking stupid

There's far more malice than stupidity. I believe he was actually evil

Alternate timeline: MacArthur defects to the axis, leads Imperial Japanese troops in the crushing of the 1950 Korean revolution.
