I really can't see the political will in the US to keep fighting a stalemate for twelve years in Korea. Even in the Red-Scare environment of the 1950s domestic discontent would build. Sooner of later, like Vietnam the pressure builds to get it over with.

On the other side it's my understanding that even the Russians and Chinese were getting sick and tired of Kim Il-Sung by late 1952 and wanted the war over. Stalin's death also played a role since Malenkov (the next Soviet premier) was not too fond of Kim.

Letting other people come up with the scenario is quite fun.

Does it have to be military based? I did, in all seriousness, try one earlier but it didn't seem to work out. (The Gay President question).

I kinda want this to be not that political if possible so if you don't have it be a military one just make sure it's not a political one or a politically charged one. That being said the occasional controversial question isn't a bad thing.
