The "time to attack China" was in 1949-50-51, before they had nuclear weapons and while the Nationalist forces were still on the mainland. Macarthur was right.
Too late now.
Could be.
I have always blamed Nixon for "opening the door" to China. That is what doomed us.
At that time America was so globally superior, they could not imagine anyone ever competing with them.
The same in the Middle East, with turning all the oil wells over to the Saudi regime.
America, at that time, never imagined and could not conceive that this would ever be a problem or a threat.
At that time, they had no idea (or did not care) what they would have to deal with in the future.
