As if attacks on any of those countries would lead to world war? Though realist forces sometimes push these countries towards one another, ultimately they are too isolated to breed anything more than regional conflicts, and too weak to really pose much of a long-term threat

Mind you US are not by any means weak and they can pose a long-term threat. But if you're exepcting a clash of million-sized armies or nuclear armageddon, I'm afraid you'll be dissappointed :D Other than that world war is very possible scenario.

Perhaps in some sort of slow burn, similar to the "war on terror"

Slow burn (aka partisan war, low-intense conflict, counter-terrorism operation, war without frontline, "anti-papuan" war) like current Kenyan-Somali war... yes, it could be, but not exclusively. For the most part it'd be a series of short burst (couple of weeks , a month or two) of high-intense conflicts and god knows how long low-intense phase like recent war in South Sudan or military operation in Burkina Faso. Seemingly regional conflicts with global aftermath and quite possible involvement of the "tough guys" at the peak of all these mess.

Say, atm I'm monitoring all freely available info coming from Karabakh, and by the looks of it there'd a second war before year ends or next year at the latest. Needless to say that these guys have serious grudge over each other, in a sense "final resolution" of Karabakh issue was part of election campaings for both Aliev and Sargsyan. Obviously Azeri have far more reasons for militray escalation in the region, because Armenians kinda won last war, so they're bumping up their military budget sky high hoping for a cake walk when the war bursts. Could this particular regional conflict lead to Iran, Russia, Turkey, Kurds, US involvement? Easily.
