And why wouldn't that lead immediately to WW III with American
involvement from day one?
Because this would be separate war from the later WW3. Russian and Chinese acquiescence to the attack would be negotiated beforehand where they would be compensated geopolitically elsewhere.
Russia could be compensated elsewhere, for example by recognizing their takeover of Crimea. North Korea is a critically important buffer for China, though; what could compensate for that?
