Not really a source of hope. Just laying out my predictions.
It’s not unusual for an armistice that is not quickly turned into a peace treaty to backslide back into armed conflict. The Korean War is one of the few exceptions so far, but we don’t have a lot of data to operate on as it is perhaps unique in the history of diplomacy and warfare. My belief is that without a peace treaty that conflict is inevitable, be it in 4 years or in 40 years. You’re free to believe differently, but without any data to back up the argument it’s just each of us slinging opinions. Although my opinion is based on the results of shorter duration armistices, both successful and failures. Even though they are not quite like the Korean situation, it’s not something I’ve made up completely in a vacuum.
