Gobbledy babble in the article. The key word is armistice.

There is no peace treaty in Korea. Folks forget this.

There is an armistice. It defined the border and DMZ.

South Korea explicitly REFUSED to sign this agreement. China signed, North Korea signed and the UN Command (two US generals) signed. South Korea objected to a border defined by combat and wanted total ejection of N. Korean politics and China from the territory, which would all be labeled Korea with no delineation.

Sound familiar?

It has held up for 70 years.

The lines are where they are. Every day of no agreement they move westward. Note this was not how Korea unfolded.

S. Korea’s army was largely wiped out. Seoul was captured more than once and then uncaptured by UN (aka US) forces. Pyongyang was also captured, and then the Chinese entered the war and uncaptured Pyongyang.

There is near 0 probability that mass insertion of US troops is going to happen for Ukraine. That movement westward of the combat lines doesn’t show any signs of stopping and each additional claim by Europe that just some more bone breaking sanctions will fix everything hasn’t proven true so far. And probably won’t.

Russia has oil. China consumes 16+ million barrels/day and produces about 4.5. India consumes over 5 million bpd and produces 900K. Everywhere else producing oil already has customers for it.

An armistice may be the best deal Ukraine can get. Probably is. If the Russians allow it while winning so.
