Truman Library and Museum, Accession Number In the early days of December , fear and despair gripped senior officials of the Truman administration. Now a massive Chinese offensive had completely surprised them and driven them back toward the 38 th Parallel. President Harry Truman ordered a broad strategic review to evaluate all possible responses. By December 3 national security leaders had agreed on policy goals.
The United States would abandon its objective of unifying Korea and holding elections under United Nations auspices.
Washington and its allies would continue fighting in Korea; they would avoid a general war with China and its Soviet sponsor; and their basic goal would be to negotiate a cease-fire around the 38 th Parallel after improving their military position. Underlying this concept were two fundamental principles: General Douglas MacArthur, the commander of UN forces in Korea, would have to fight without any large addition of troops, and US defense resources would have to be expanded for the top priority of defending Europe.
The Truman administration had strengthened its commitment to these policy goals by December 8. Marshall, the US had rejected the demands of a high-level British delegation for an immediate cease-fire and major concessions to the new Chinese communist government.
Intelligence reports soon confirmed American leaders in their decisions but heightened their fears. A detailed CIA memorandum of December 2 argued that the Soviet Union was the initiator of the Chinese intervention and the main source of its weapons and supplies. In the early months of officials in the defense department and the budget bureau developed detailed plans to meet the challenge posed by the heavy Soviet support for the massive Chinese intervention in Korea.
A preemptive nuclear attack, unleashed against South Korean political and military targets and U. Other factors contribute to this reasoning.
North Korea has little in the way of ISR, meaning that once a crisis begins it cannot detect a buildup of enemy forces and has no idea when it will be struck.
The only way to guarantee a strike is preemptive is to launch early in a crisis, once the Kim regime has determined that war is inevitable. What targets will North Korea hit? All of these buildings are located in the capital, Seoul. Another major set of targets are U. North Korean nuclear weapons will also strike U. South Korea do some counter-attack. North Korea use nuclear weapons. Huge American support for South Korea starts in this case. China is engaged in the conflict of the both Korea states.
Escalation is growing up. Tactical nuclear weapons are used in some unplanned incident. Russia is supporting China position. Risk of the global nuclear war is very high. Strategic ICBM are prepared to use. Strategic ICBM are used. We have global nuclear war.

Fears of an all-out conflict or possible world war have been stoked again as North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has now ordered to have missiles prepared for possible combat.
