It seems like maybe people are already forgetting the Cold War. Full, symmetric war between nuclear powers must be avoided at all costs. How to prevent escalation to a full intercontinental nuclear exchange is not clear. The Shilling point of not killing each others soldiers on purpose is very clear. Once countries are openly killing each others solders, you are at war, and the situation can change very quickly. This is why Syria is so dangerous and highly underrated as a problem by most people. All the foreign policy reporters and think tanks are distracted by the North Korea situation (not to say that is not a big problem), I would guess.
