There's also the possibility MacArthur could have gotten his way and attacked into China from Korea in 1951. That would have resulted in a VERY nasty situation as you can be sure the PACT (did they exist as a formal body then?) would have moved in Europe as well as in the east. MacArthur was also keen on using nukes at the time and the Soviets wouldn't have held much back. MAD wouldn't have been possible, with nukes being used only as fast as they could be hand built.
