The scenario I saw posited was that China, North Korea, "the West", and America wanted to end the war after year 2 of the 3 year war (the South Koreans were willing to continue fighting but America was a strategic ally that had leverage) but it was Russia that had veto over ending the war. 2 weeks after Stalin's death the Korean war was over partially or primarily due to Russian leadership positioning itself for his succession.

Is this perspective largely accepted and supported?

Do, do they like go in the ground or do I need a highlander to sit on them or something?

Do I need scotch tape?

>! 3. Revisiting the open ended question of "Why do birds fly?" It starts to indicate that it is because birds can where others cannot, and they soar where other flying creatures flit about. It is close to a 'can implies should' outlook and it is largely because no one can stop a bird from flying that it will.
