During the Korean War, when the ChiComs started flooding south
to aid the North Koreans, General MacArthur wanted to use dirty
nukes to create a 10 mile wide radiation belt across the border.
The Chinese troops could still have crossed, but they would have
dropped dead from radiation poisoning with 72 hours.

They shoulda done something like that. But making everything
radioactive for ten miles times maybe a hundred miles might
pollute the whole earth. But they coulda been sneaky and crop dusted
the whole place with anthrax or something like that.
