The only certainty about wars is that you can't predict their courses or outcomes (cf, Iraq).

That having been said, the type of "war" the US would engage in would start out as massive bombing/cruise missile attacks by US forces, followed by the retaliatory annihilation of Seoul (by conventional weapons, one expects) and invasion from the North and direct engagement of US troops.

What would happen then? Damnifino. Certainly NK is in no position to successfully occupy the South, regardless of any initial successes their huge army might achieve, so I would expect a massive bloodbath -- casualties in the millions -- and a quick collapse of NK warmaking capability, and probably the collapse of the NK government.

I think -- although I'm far from sure -- that it would fall apart before other countries would get seriously involved. China is the wild card here, but they have no real love for NK and are much more interested in becoming the world's largest economy than wasting their blood and treasure supporting madmen.

Medium-term result? Another unsupportable quagmire for US forces. Long-term? Not pretty for anyone involved.
 
No-one would attack the US, but China would be pretty upset.

But the US won't go into a war with NK anyway.
