Editing Talk:Korean conflict (section)

== End? ==

It is way too soon to say the conflict has ended:
* The previous two summits made similar declarations.
* The US-NK summit has not yet occurred.
* There are still US troops in the South.
* There is no peace treaty — not that one is necessary.
* Korea remains divided along the DMZ, with both governments claiming to be the legitimate government of all of Korea.--[[User:Jack Upland|Jack Upland]] ([[User talk:Jack Upland|talk]]) 06:12, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
:I agree, {{u|Jack Upland}}. The article shouldn't claim that such a thing has happened in the infobox or anywhere else. <span style="font-family: serif; letter-spacing: 0.1em">–&nbsp;[[User:Finnusertop|Finnusertop]]</span> ([[User talk:Finnusertop|talk]] ⋅ [[Special:Contributions/Finnusertop|contribs]]) 11:57, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

::For that matter, why is the start date 15 August 1945, Japanese surrender?--[[User:Jack Upland|Jack Upland]] ([[User talk:Jack Upland|talk]]) 08:15, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

should also add that even if NK and SK agree to peace, the United States is still a listed belligerent and would need to agree to peace as well. Hopefully this will all happen soon, but not yet.

:I don't think that signing a peace treaty would necessarily end the conflict. The conflict existed before the Korean War. The conflict has continued decades after the armistice. There is no guarantee that a treaty would end it. The conflict, as this article says, is based on the division of Korea. If that division continues, it is likely that the conflict will continue. My preference would be to simply state what has happened and let the readers make up their minds. Saying the "Korean conflict" is over, because a peace treaty is signed, would really be a prediction. I think we should avoid that, if we go down that path, we need some strong sources.--[[User:Jack Upland|Jack Upland]] ([[User talk:Jack Upland|talk]]) 09:35, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
