Top 10 Countries and Groups Most Likely to Start World War 3
This war will be the end of us, but I wonder who's going to start it.
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea, also known as North Korea, is a country in Eastern Asia. Its capital is Pyongyang. It is currently ruled by the Juche leader Kim Jong-Un, after inheriting the title from his father, Kim Jong-Il, who in turn inherited it from his father, Kim Il-Sung... read more This has to be number one! I am offended that people say the USA will start a war because of Donald Trump. I disagree. First off, Trump is much better than Obama, and Hillary has done nothing for the past 20 years. We have to give Trump a chance.
On the other hand, North Korea is a country that doesn't let anybody live. They hacked into the USA. They have nukes. They are dangerous and scary. The USA is the best country ever. Leave a like if you agree. GO USA!
North Korea and China form a very warlike alliance. North Korea has already shown that they do not have common sense, and they have enough short-range missiles to cause serious problems for someone near them. China has the manpower and economic strength to believe that they could win World War 3. Trump will not start WW3, guys. Come on!
The United States of America, or the U.S.A. for short, is a federal republic composed of 50 states, 48 of them are contiguous states. There are two other states, Alaska and Hawaii, which are north and south of the contiguous states, respectively. The United States declared its independence from the... read more Their military budget exceeds the next eight combined. Obviously, there is a budget imbalance, and you can see a problem in it.
Their military bases are everywhere, and they intervene a lot. Vietnam War, Syrian Civil War, raiding China, raiding Mexico, etc. The USA took a big part in them. The most warmongering country ever.
Good thing Hillary was not elected, or else the world would be on fire now, in February 2018.
Of course, the US would most likely start WW3. Trump is really eager to prove that he is a military man by allowing war to happen so he can be a general or something. He loves missiles and nukes because there won't be blood for him to see when he starts the war, just a very huge crater.
Russia, or the Russian Federation (RF), is a transcontinental country spanning Eastern Europe and Northern Asia. It is the largest country in the world by area, covering over 17,125,191 square kilometres (6,612,073 sq mi), and encompassing one-eighth of Earth's inhabitable landmass. Russia extends across... read more Putin wants war with the West. He hates everything about Western culture, seeing it as incompatible with the existence of the Russian state, and wants to obliterate it. He also wants to rebuild the Soviet Union, but under fascist rather than communist domination. This would involve the annexation of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, which are members of NATO.
With Russia continuing to invade Ukraine, this looks worse than ever before. If Russia invades Ukraine again, they will have to face dramatic and severe consequences for their actions.
China, officially known as the People's Republic of China, is a country located in East Asia. It is the world's second most populous country, boasting a population of more than 1.4 billion. China spans five geographical time zones and shares its borders with 14 countries, making it second only to Russia... read more Well, they do have the largest military and the largest potential amount of reserve troops.
They have the best military in the world. It's tempting not to use it.
I voted for China because they will trigger a war by invading Taiwan.
Iran, also known as Persia, officially the Islamic Republic of Iran, is a sovereign state in Western Asia. The capital city is Teheran and the major city is also Tehran. The country's official language is Persian... read more I'm from Iran, and as much as I hate to say this, I do think that Iran will be one of the main reasons for WW3 if it breaks out.
Due to Iran's conflict with the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia, along with the Nuclear Deal, which most countries are involved in, Iran has a high chance of starting a world war. I also realized that during the Ukraine and Russia war, Iran was assisting Russia with drones, which countries that support Ukraine did not stand for.
Although Iran has been getting involved in trouble over the past years, it might not be enough to start a world war, but it could still be possible.
ISIS is taking over the Middle East. They are a threat to humanity. They have terrorists who attacked powerful countries like the USA.
They're asking for it. They really are.
Terrorist group, must I explain more?
India, officially known as the Republic of India, is a country located in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by area and the most populous country, with over 1.4 billion people. Additionally, it is the most populous democracy in the world... read more India is definitely a force capable of triggering the next world war because of its mighty army and ongoing human rights abuses against the Muslim minority.
India has the third-best military in the world. They usually don't attack other countries like this, but they will if they have to.
Honestly, the raging conflict between Pakistan and India is dragging other countries into it (US, Russia, China). This could possibly lead to a World War 3.
Israel, officially the State of Israel, is a country in Western Asia. It is situated on the southeastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea and the northern shore of the Red Sea, and shares borders with Lebanon to the north, Syria to the northeast, Jordan to the east, and Egypt to the southwest; it is also... read more Not that it's their fault - people keep fighting over Israel for almost no reason.
They will probably be on the allies' side.
Syria, officially the Syrian Arab Republic, is a Western Asian country located in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Levant. It is a unitary republic that consists of 14 governorates (subdivisions), and is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the west, Turkey to the north, Iraq to the east and southeast,... read more This will further escalate the Syrian Civil War.
Nah. They have their own war to take care of.
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly shortened to United Kingdom, UK or Britain is a Sovereign State located of the Northwestern coast of Europe. It is a Parliamentary Constitutional Monarchy currently lead by Monarch Queen Elizabeth II and its current prime minister is... read more No way! The UK would NEVER start a war! They would help other members of NATO in a war but never cause it.
A really good military, and if the US goes to war, they will probably help us.
Have you people not heard of Canadian history?

Pakistan also does not support terrorism. The so-called Taliban come from Afghanistan, trying to create problems in Pakistan.
Pakistan's army should not be overlooked, nor should its geographical features. It is difficult to invade and has a strong army ready to mobilize. It is the 6th nuclear power and has a top intelligence agency. Not an enemy to have, in the books of strategists.
