Even if they couldn't nuke South Korea (I'll take your word for it), if the yanks had used nukes on China, the situation would have escalated and many, many more would have died in the ensuing world war.Too bad that the USSR had no capabilities to do so.

Nukes are terrible weapons. Ideally, no one would have them. But rather than just one country having them (and bullying the world into submission, as it seems you would have supported), better that more countries have them to prevent such acts of madness.
As it turned out, the views of the rest of the world (together with more restraining voices in government) kept the US in check - thank goodness.
