Negative Peace

The reason is first off we have had no detente in history by holding nuclear weapons. -von_yosukeyan

I don't raise any questions as to your assertion. All right, but can't we say that you see we have had war in history by not holding nuclear weapons?

Even if North & South Korea held nuclear weapons, and even if we could achieve negative peace in the region, that does not lead to detente.

Don't you think that the negative peace is equal to detente?

The third point is that even if nuclear weapons kept a military balance in the peninsula, in fact military threat to the surrounding countries makes the balance of force in whole East Asia collapsed.

Very true. Good point.

East Asia Nations would fall into pessimistic situations of the incessant military expansions if the military expansion by North Korea, especially the holding of nuclear weapons were in reality.

For the first time in several months, I encountered very sober analysis as to the military circumstances in the region. Excellent, but the problem is North Korea already has two or three nuclear warheads, and of course in the South, the US forces have nuclear weapons. The fact is East Asia is already a nest of nuclear weapons. That is why I think current peace is the result of power politics. Negative peace is from point of view in peace and detente is from point of view in conflict, they are similar and enough for us all.
