After Gen. MacArthur’s successful Inchon landing, victory in Korea seemed in the bag. Truman administration officials nonetheless carefully kept their high-fiving from the public. President Truman himself didn’t speak of victory for fear he’d be stuck with having to pursue victory if the Soviets and Chinese directly intervened, as they did.
Joe Biden would sooner sprout tentacles than commit to a culmination in Ukraine that includes reclaiming Crimea. But Vladimir Putin has also had to learn the serenity prayer. Thanks to his gross miscalculation, he’ll now have to live with a rearming and rejuvenated North Atlantic Treaty Organization. This goal, which drives the U.S.-led alliance, could yet be botched, but it would be harder than you think.
