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.
Given the belligerence towards Russia and China the US government has shown in recent years, which started while Obozo was still president, this seems to be an unlikely outcome.
