If what I read on Wikipedia is correct, and what I remember from my youth, the Korean War was a United Nations conflict. The United States called it a "police action" because there was no legitimate declaration of war by the US Congress. It just beats me that the United States can now reject a peace treaty. How utterly arrogant! The United Nations should overrule the United States, and just go ahead.

This is shaping up to be another 100 years war. But how can that be when war was never declared by the US? This was supposed to be a police action by the UN.

This is what is called bargaining in bad faith. I can't speak for North korea, but the US does not want peace or a peace treaty. They are constantly thinking of reasons why they can't do it. You'd think somebody who wanted peace would rejoice at the offer of a peace treaty.

Both the United States government and the North Korean government have a vested interest in maintaining hostile relations short of resumption of war. The policies of the United States government, (refusal to formally end the Korean War, economic sanctions, and troops stationed on the Korean peninsula) provide a pretext to the North Korean government for its failed economic policies and role those policies have had in making North Koreans some of the poorest people on Earth. The North Korean government provides the United States government with a pretext to maintain a large contingent of its troops in Southeast Asia. It is a classic win/win situation for both governments, but not the people of either country.

USA troops, if they leave Korea, Japan /Phillopines would be next. Uncle Sam is worried–no more king of the far east castle. Empire busted for good!
