Donald Trump meets Kim Jon-Un at Singapore and that means the mind has been changed on both side of the telephone line between Washington and Pyongyang. This also marks that people in the world are realizing, how expensive and the powerful weapon is the nuclear bomb. This meeting is the sign, that people of the world want peace, and one of the most important steps in the stable peace in Korean peninsula would be stopping the war between Koreas officially and write the peace contract between those nations.
This is the road, that could make something good for that area, and also that would help to begin the weapon disarming around the world. The international politics is the very complicated thing, and when we are talking about peace contracts, we would say that they are the good beginning in the real peace. But as we know, there would be some problems with this kind of meeting. The reality is, that the full-scale war between Koreas is the very bad thing and this could cost millions of lives on both sides. If North Korea would stand alone, we know, who would win that conflict, but the price in humanity and economical aspect would be horrible.
Nuclear conflicts are the very complicated thing, and if some other nuclear-powered state would involve that conflict, would the situation turn very dramatic, and conflict would send the world to global nuclear conflict, where would be billions of dead people. Nobody doesn't want to use nukes in that area, but if the conflict would grow to open war, there would be the situation, that somebody wants to break the situation by using nuclear force, and then the counterstrike would be made by using nuclear weapons. And if some other nuclear state would come to support North Korea, are the ingredients ready for global nuclear war. This is why the peace contract in that area would be very important.
The situation in the Korean peninsula is similar than in 1980's Between India and Pakistan. In that time were spoken that this area would go to so-called limited nuclear warfare if those nations would go to war against together. In that scenario, those nations would have the only couple of bombs, but the problem with nuclear weapons is, that they are so powerful destructors. And if the defense against those weapons would not work, the results will be devastating. In the Persian Gulf, United States destroyer got hit by Exocet missile, and that made strategist think the situation that some nuclear missile or fighter, what carries nuclear bomb would pass the defense of some battlegroup, and this might cause the destruction of all group of ships.
And the problem in the defense against nuclear weapons is, that it should not fail a single time. Nobody wants to test those weapons in the real situation against real nuclear bombers or missiles, what is coming from the skies. In that time, the time for the reaction would be very short, and there would be many mistakes, that could be done. When nuclear missile would come against some target, are the members of the defense system in the most stressful situation, what people can imagine. In that situation, the counterstrike and anti-missile operation would fail.
