Limited war is a farce. Neither side wins with limited war. I'm not a

ended in a stalemate.

Yes, but limited war was the only possible war between nuclear powers .
Mutually Assured Destruction makes total war unacceptable.

Korea and Vietnam were Cold War wars fought on other people's land.
Sadly, both countries were pawns in a US vs. Soviet dick-waving contest.

Limited wars or proxy wars, nukes saw to that.
