Re Rose. I think his evidence proves that CIA was exactly correrct and timely regarding the capabilities of the North Koreans and Chinese. That was their mission and they got it right. And indeed NK was controlled by Moscow. What they got "wrong" was the assumption that North Korea and China would not do something massively stupid, such as fighting the USA. It destroyed the North and set back China for years (Mao was prone to national suicide, as the Great leap Forward, the break with Moscow, hisa risk of nuclear war with BOTH Russia and US, and the Cultural Revolution, all after 1950, show).
