Question reblogged from Kontextmaschine with 32 notes

Anonymous asked: give me one of your spiciest, most forbidden amhist takes

kontextmaschine:

America would’ve won a total nuclear war in 1951 and MacArthur shoulda forced *Truman* to resign

Interestingly I’m not sure this would have left America in a stronger position going forward – the old European empires hadn’t fully collapsed yet and in the absence of Soviet counterweight could plausibly regroup, and other Cold War positions hadn’t been consolidated yet – Indonesia didn’t purge its communists until 1965.

My grandpa made my grandma pop out three kids asap despite that not being healthy for her and that’s the whole reason my mom exists; so he could avoid the draft for Korea.
