General Douglas MacArthur suggested this, resulting in President Harry Truman terminating MacArthur's military career on April 10, 1951 and replacing him with General Matthew Ridgway.
The Korean War began on June 25, 1950 and an armistice was signed on July 27, 1953. Note: Truman had already had 4 MK-4 fission bombs shipped to Korea but had not authorized their use (so when MacArthur threatened to use fission bombs he could havebut it would have been unauthorized).

The US chose NOT to deploy nuclear weapons. (The US did deploy nuclear weapons against Japan in WWII). The US chose NOT to invade North Vietnam. (The US did invade North Korea during the Korean War).
Potential for nuclear war against the USSR in 1950.
That in the atomic age (atomic weapons) only limited wars can be fought. Nuclear weapons would mean total war.
Japan was only defeated by atomic weapons. Prior to nuclear weapons, Japan was never defeated in any war.
"Korean Gettysburg," The battle at Wonju and Chipyong-ni showed that Ridgway's 8th Army could stand against the Chinese."
The US is strongly opposed to the North Korean nuclear weapons program and has been trying very hard to discourage North Korea from building nuclear weapons, although as we have seen, North Korea is building them anyway, in defiance of all forms of international pressure from the US or the UN.

Yes they can. In the Korean group miss A, there are two Chinese people. In another Korean group, f(x) there is two Chinese people (one is currently not there). So you can be a Korean singer if you're Chinese.
North Koreans, Red Chinese and Soviet technicians.
By the time of the Korean War, the Soviet Union had nuclear weapons and was allied with China and North Korea. Using a nuclear weapon there could have triggered a nuclear war between the US and the USSR.
The Korean War was due to the Invasion of South Korea by North Korea. Later in this war, the Chinese came to the aid of North Korea.
China would prefer a nuclear-weapon-free Korean peninsula. However, China is North Korea's foremost foreign ally, so it is often unwilling to join the US and other nations in boycotting or sanctioning North Korean unwillingness to forego nuclear weapons.
