did Stalin keep the Korean war going?

I've been taking a class on Chinese history and my teacher said that Stalin kept the Korean war going for 2 years extra despite it being a total stalemate so American troops would be busy in Asia and would not be available to counter his maneuvers in Europe at the expense of over 500,00 Chinese and Korean lives. i'm wanting to get a Stalinist (Marxist–Leninist) and Maoist view of this.

No way. If anything, the Americans kept the war going in order to figure out whether they could use some more atomic bombs and get away with it. Public Opinion faltered though, which was something the USFG wasn't counting on after WWII.

I'm not a ML or an M-LM, but Stalin wasn't going to deal with that shit if he didn't have to.

he, in his ability, kept the war going in case war flared in europe, the americans were on the other side of the world. the koreans, americans, and chinese all kept it going for separate reasons.

nothing about americans clamoring to use A-Bombs, thats silly.

by threating to end all economic aid to North Korea if they signed a truce
