well since israel is the 51st state of the USA, the yanks would probably airlift everything from baby dipers to F15's to israel.
did you know that during yum kippur war, the americans took their own F4's out of their service and supplied them to israel. |

So sending three wings of Mig-15's with russian pilots to N. Korea wasn't 'directly intervening'?
The only reason the Reds didn't more directly intervene was because they would have gotten nuked into the stone age, then we wouldn't have nit wits like you to listen to today. What a loss that would be... :brick |

you think truman would be that ****ing dumb? jesus... the USSR also had nukes at that time, and the 500 or so that the US had would not be enough to shatter the USSR a great deal, since they were only a powerfull as the ones dropped on hiroshima, and the number of B29's that would penetrate soviet airspace would be very small...

By the 1950's we had Hydrogen Bombs. They were in the 100-500 kiloton class. 500 Nuclear Weapons could turn the Soviet Union into a glowing pile of Ruble. |

we had the H bomb before you... and lemay's primary targets were in china and north korea and only the east of the USSR. not the west, there is no way your bombers could have penetrated that deep into our territory. Quote:

"nuked into the stone age?

How exactly was the Soviet Union going to deliver any nukes onto US soil in 1950? The Mk1 wishful thinking missile? Oh, but that's right, the US had a fleet of 3 THOUSAND heavy bombers that could reach the Soviet Union from CONUS in 1950. The Hydrogen bomb was invented in the United States. Sorry Skippy.(Russia didn't even detonate a fission device until late 1947). |
