I could have won the war in Korea in a maximum of 10 days

I would have dropped between 30 to 50 tactical atomic bombs on his air bases and other depots strung across the neck of Manchuria from just across the Yalu at Antung

We had about 300 nukes at that point, so he's proposing using 10% of our stockpile just to knock out airbases in just this one sector in Asia.

I would then have called upon a half million of Chiang Kai-shek's troops

The Nationalist Chinese were a lot better than they usually get credit for. But let's be honest with ourselves. They fought ChiComs before and they got beaten. You can't assume they would win this time.

[various ideas about doing multiple more amphibious landings]

Incheon was brilliant but then he did another landing at Wonsan. Only problem was, when they got there the ROKs had already liberated Wonsan. It just caused a lot of logistical problems. MacArthur had a great record in WW2 of amphibious landings but that doesn't always work. You can end up with a situation like Anzio where there's a bunch of guys you have to try hard to just keep from getting overrun.

It was my plan as our amphibious forces moved South to spread behind us—from the Sea of Japan to the Yellow Sea—a belt of radioactive cobalt. It could have been spread from wagons, carts, trucks and planes. It is not an expensive material.

This is absolutely fricking ludicrous. If you want to make breast cancer rates go up by 12% there, sure. But the idea that you would make an area so radioactive that people couldn't walk through it is lunacy.

Here's a big secret that Big Anti-Nuclear doesn't want you to know: It is extremely hard to kill a person with radiation from outside their body. Extreme fallout in the first few days of a nuclear war maybe. Otherwise you have to be really close to a nuclear weapon exploding, so close that you would get vaporized anyway if you weren't protected. Like look at the "neutron bomb" that whiny leftoids cried about so much. This was designed to kill guys in tanks. The only way you would get killed by the radiation is if you were inside a tank, because if you weren't inside a tank you would get burned alive. You don't get killed by gamma rays. Gamma rays are so scary because omg they theoretically penetrate so much concrete or whatever. You know what else they do? They penetrate you. Most of them just go right through and keep going. I'd encourage you to check out this series of lectures if you want to know how this stuff works.
