In fact, War criminal Eisenhower threatened to nuke China in the first Taiwan Straight Crises, which led to China building their own nuclear weapons to avoid being pushed around, making the world that much less safe. If you really want to know how bad things were, the leaked Pentagon papers is a good place to start.
It’s a miracle that we didn’t have a world-ending nuclear holocaust.
