  4.  @jmight318  General Douglas McArthur shared much of the same sentiments as you As a result, President Truman relieved him from command That should be very telling of the situation of the war at that time Truman wasn't an idiot - if he felt that a truce and orderly withdrawal from the war was an acceptable outcome, it's because that's best possible outcome achievable Escalating the war into an all out war with China posed a very real risk of China going on to occupy other countries in Asia in the event the US had to withdraw

  5.  @stareagle5000  Soviet troops were not involved in ground combat though Soviet support for China was limited to their air force, and even then they would only operate over Chinese/NK controlled territory, so in contested territories the US still enjoyed air superiority As for why I said UN, well Australian, Canadian, etc troops were involved in actual ground combat, on the side of the US of course So in terms of ground combat, it was Chinese + NK VS Americans + UN allies + SK
