From Wilkipedia:
Archival material suggests that North Korea's decision to invade South Korea was Kim's initiative, not a Soviet one. Evidence suggests that Soviet intelligence, through its espionage sources in the US government and British SIS, had obtained information on the limitations of US atomic bomb stockpiles as well as defense program cuts, leading Stalin to conclude that the Truman administration would not intervene in Korea.

"Before the invasion, Korea was not included in the strategic Asian Defense Perimeter outlined by Secretary of State Acheson. Military strategists were more concerned with the security of Europe against the Soviet Union than East Asia......
.....On January l2, 1950, Secretary of State Acheson had even announced publicly that the American "defensive perimeter" did not extend to South Korea.
Stalin read the speech carefully—as well as (courtesy of British spies) the top-secret National Security Council study upon which it was based—and authorized Ills foreign minister, Molotov, to discuss it with Mao Zedong. The Soviet leader then informed Kim Il-sung that according to information coming from the United States, . . . the prevailing mood is not to interfere." Kim in turn assured Stalin that "the attack will be swift and the war will he won in three days."

So,was possible for USA,with different policy decisions avoid the "green light" from Stalin for the south Korea invasion?

And if in 1948 Thomas Dewey had become President of United States,with a different Secretary of State,would have changed anything?
