Maybe but what if then China replaced SK and US in your sentence with Cuba and China?
Problem is not that China would - it wouldn't.
Problem is nuclear tech was 'rocket science' in 1940s. Making a bomb in 2020s isn't that hard anymore, nor - as rocket startups show, - is making an ICBM.
Blink and you'll enter a world where any technologically-weaker opponent relies on MAD deterrence.

And, if it isn't enough, then just wait before someone will press the button.

If Chekhov's gun remained silent between few sane, cold-minded actors for surprisingly long time - then let's issue it to everyone, what can go wrong.

Just for the sake of curiousity. I modeled myself a T/TA-50 aircraft. and attempted to predict frontal aspect RCS of it.

With Slottedplanar array radar.png

Inlet duct

Air Induction.png

The model includes Radar and intakes. The intake includes the air induction duct and Fan face of the engine.

Modeling is as usual my typical method of 120 degrees of arc horizontally and 45 degrees of arc vertical. in 12 frequencies ranging from 0.15 GHz to 12.5 GHz. The image is animated gif's.

Medianizing the result :
Medianized-T50 vs F16.png

Also compared with F-16 RCS which i previously modeled long time ago in same condition.

Conclusion wise, "Baby Falcon" seems to be really apt name considering the plane behave kind of similar to the larger Fighting Falcon, but the RCS is generally smaller.

The thing i have not tried yet so far is to actually add the cockpit. The canopy here is assumed to be compeltely reflective which is realistic for aircraft fight gold coating in its canopy to prevent radar from "seeing" inside the cockpit. Beside computation i am not really sure how to actually treat the panels and the pilot. can it be modeled as PEC or some fancy material. Fancy materials however may require me to have a new rig which i am financially unable to support atm.
