Regarding North Korea, a north Korean strike on let's say guam would be a perfect opportunity to launch a disarming retaliatory strike. Such would be an escalation but would then lead to deescalation. The only way the GD predicted version of the korean crisis can occur is if the US just sits there, backs down and does nothing and North Korea launched an unprovoked surprise attack later on when the north Korean forces have gained more capabilities and have become fully ready. Given that trump has pledged not to allow that to occur, a first strike against North Korea is very much possible in the coming days.
