A peace treaty plays right into what China and Russia want. It puts the USA in the awful situation of "so, why are your troops and bases there when there is not threat of war?" Then we look like the aggressor.

Conversely, getting rid of the nukes, gets rid of the sanctions.....and with no sanctions, and we still have bases in SK....whats to stop NK inviting China, Russia or both to set up shop? When Russia intervened in Syria, they telegraphed to the world they were back in business and if they have a base on your territory and should a popular uprising occur, they got your back. And as paranoid Kim is, this is probably very attractive to him.
