🌍 GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT:
This wasn't just about Korea—it was about global strategy. Bradley understood what MacArthur refused to accept: China wasn't the real enemy. The Soviet Union was. Fighting a land war in Asia would leave Europe vulnerable to Soviet invasion. Stalin wanted America bogged down in Asia while he consolidated power in Europe. MacArthur's plan would have given Stalin exactly what he wanted.

Was Bradley right to oppose MacArthur's plan? Or should America have fought for total victory in Korea? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
