An existential crisis looms, whereby nuclear war, environmental ruin, related disasters and some other factors can destroy or badly disrupt essential life-nurturing conditions of the planet.

Until that final deal is reached, what exists is a ceasefire arrangement with an attached incentive structure, not a resolved peace.
