Re: Nuclear Echoes from Korea




John,


>>On May 19 1953, the Joint Chiefs recommended direct air and naval operations against China, including the use of nuclear weapons. The National Security Council endorsed the JCS recommendation the next day. <<
Far from complete. This was a warning to China and North Korea to quit stalling and sign a ceasefire. It went along with establishing logistics bases in Japan in Korea to support an airborne/seaborne invasion of North Korea, which also was a warning of what would happen if they didn't. History shows it worked and they believed these warnings so signed the ceasefire.

>Does anyone know whether Gen. Clark got any Nukes after
NSC approved use of them in May 5003? <

Don't know if Gen. Clarg gets nukes in May 5003 since that is too far in the future. <BG>
