#3 Never say never.

Always keep in mind that, prior to WW2, many rational Americans held the attitude and belief that iff Nazi Germany + Japan made war agz the US, they would surely lose, ERGO THEY WOULDN'T WAGE WAR = WEREN'T STUPID ENUFF TO WILFULLY START A WAR AGZ THE US THAT THEY WOULD LOSE, THAT THEY MUST KNOW OR REALIZE THEY WOULD LOSE.

History records that JAPAN attacked Pearl Harbor on 12/7/1941, after which Nazi Germany declared war on the US a few days later.

* KOREAN WAR > the US believed the CHINESE weren't supposed to be technologically or economically able to militarily intervene in Korea so soon after the end of the 1949 Chin Civil War [MAO-VS-CHIANG], BUT THEY DID AND FORCED MACARTHUR'S BOYZ TO RETREAT FROM THE YALU [ e.g. CHOSIN Reservoir].

* 1968 TET?

* 1973 YOM KIPPUR WAR?

* FULDA GAP > "CONTROLLED ESCALATION" = US-NATO believed that the USSR would never use MASSIVE/OVERWHELMING NUMBERS OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS in ANY OPENING CONVENTIONAL FIRST-STRIKE AGZ NATO FORCES IN WESTERN EUROPE.

US-NATO were wrong.
