Even if China joined them, it's still a regional conflict, not a global conflict, unless there are multiple global fronts. World War I and II saw fighting in Europe, Africa, and Asia.
Iran could start more trouble in the Middle East.
And I still think Germany is one to watch in any conflict. Their power grab of the EU will eventually have to be dealt with by members. World war 3 probably happens when the EU wakes up and realizes they are under German control.
To be clear I agree this NK stuff won't be a world war. I am just speaking on tension points
