Actually, it wasn't even knives. Stones.

That's in Ledakh. That's the nicest place I've ever been in the world. Only place with no poverty, where everyone is smiling all the time. A veritable, almost literal Nirvana.
I'm not up for Septic war-mongers as a rule, but when General MacArthur suggested nuking the twelve biggest Chink cities in 1950, they should have gone along with it.
The scum invaded Tibet the next year. They wouldn't have been able to do that if most of their cities were radioactive rubble. The Septics missed a trick there. We were happy to gas the uppity hill tribes when we were top dog, so why didn't they "Take up the white man's burden" as Kipling asked them to?
I think we're talking at crossed purposes, C.
In plain English:
1. The democratic western allies couldn't have steamed on to Berlin and Moscow in '45 cos there were 10m battle hardened Ruskie soldiers who had the same weapons as us, and it would have been at best a blood bath, at worst a defeat.
2. However we (well, the Yanks on behalf of the western allies) could have nuked the Chinese in 1950 without comeback because the US had working nukes and an easy means of getting them onto Chinese cities from their bases in SK and Jap, while the Chinks didn't have any nukes, nor even an easy way of conventionally hitting US cities. (Though HK may have taken a pounding.)
Therefore, if we'd listen to that General Jack D Ripper or whatever he was called:
1. The beautiful people of Tibet would be living in democratic peace, meditating for our all our souls so we don't have to bother ourselves.
2. The Chinks wouldn't be spreading virus around the world cos the few Chinks left would have three heads and be living in caves.
3. As such, they would not be such a threat to long term western economic or geo-strategic interests.
