Though it has no official language, English and ...read more. Their military budget exceeds the next 8 combined. Obviously there is a budget imbalance and you can see a problem in it.
Their military bases are everywhere, and intervenes like A LOT. Vietnam war, Syrian civil war, raiding China, raiding Mexico, etc. USA took a big part in them. The most warmongering country ever.
Good thing Hilary is not voted, or else the world would be on fire now, at Feb 2018.
Of course the US would most likely to star WW3, Trump is really eager to prove that he is a military man via allowing war to happen so he can be a general or something. He loves missles and nukes, because there wont be blood for him to see when he starts the war, just a very huge crater.
Trump is threaten Russia, China, North Korea, Syria, Iran and starting trade wars with Mexico and Canada. Trump isn't respected among world leaders, so one of his mistakes could easily start world war 3.
I hate to say it, because I live in the USA! The last thing we need is war. Right now, we're having a war with ourselves! And Oboma can't go accusing every leader for going to attack the US. We will start the war. I just hope to god we win it.

If Kim Jong-un dies than the United States of America will be bombed with nukes so there allies will help fight back and that might result in start of ww3.
This has to be number one! I am affended that people say USA will start a war because of Donald Trump. I disagree. First off, Trump is much better than Obama and Hilary 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 USA. They have nukes. They are dangerous and scary. USA is the best country ever, leave a like if you agree. GO USA!
North Korea + China is a very warlike alliance. 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 that they might believe that they could win World War 3. Trump will not start WW3 guys, come on!
This is the most communist and horrifying country in the world. They will maybe Attack South Korea triggering Japan and USA to help South Korea, making China and Russia helping north, making NATO join South Korea side and Russian/Chinese Allies North's side!

Putin wants war with the west. He hates everything about western culture, seeing it as incomparable with the existance 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 would look worse than ever before. If Russia invades Ukraine again, they will have to face dramatic and severe consequences for their actions.
They have a decent military. And if the Chinese says they're going to war, they're definitely going to back them up.
Tell me one neighbouring country of Russia that would have friendly relations with them? Exactly, there is no.

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 of 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 realised that during the Ukraine and Russia war, Iran was assisting Russia with drones in which countries that support Ukraine were not standing for.
Although Iran has been getting involved is trouble over the past years, it might not be enough to start a world war but it could still be possible.
A country that is likely to press the nuclear button if things escalate. They do not have a nuclear bomb YET.
They could easily bring Russia into conflict with Israel, Europe and the United States.
Iran is the strongest country it defeated the USA!

Tel Aviv is the economic and technological center of the country, while its seat of government is in its proclaimed capital of Jerusalem, although Israeli sovereignty over East Jerusalem is unrecognized internationally. The nation which is responsible for largest number of human rights violations in the history of mankind.

They will probably be on the allie's side.

Some other major cities are Mumbai, Chennai, and Ahemdabad. The most spoken languages are Hindi and English, but there are 22 official Indian languages. Definitely a force capable of triggering the next world war because of its mighty army and on-going human rights abuses against the Muslim minority.
As Pakistan is having 6 best army and India is having the 7 best and you can search. And India also had a war with China and always supports terrorism and it can easily be crushed. And its leader modhi killed around 1000 Muslims in Gujarat he can start a war as his own people call him terrorist and if a war starts countries with Pakistan would be China,North Korea, Russia,Iran,Turkey,all of Middle East( not Israel's),all of Africa( not South Africa) and maybe some Europe countries
Indians be dreaming of nuking Pakistani occupied Kashmir...this is the true face of Indians. These idiots don't understand that people have suffered in the hands of the Indian so called army. Leave Kashmir alone for heaven's sake
The third best military in the world. They usually don't attack other countries like this, but they will if they have to.

Pakistan's army is not something to be over-looked, neither should be its geographical features. It is difficult to invade, and has a strong army ready to mobilize. 6th nuclear power and has top intelligence agency. Not a enemy to have, In the books of strategists.
Pakistan is great country and has the power to win against it biggest foe, Indian but because war is not a solution they don't want any trouble and trying to resolve things in a peaceful manner. Pakistan also does not support terrorism. The so called Taliban come from Afghanistan trying to create problem in Pakistan.
Pakistan is extremely powerful country that have the ability to destabilize the whole world. But I think now Pakistan also want a peace.
Pakistan has a really good military with a peaceful intention. They wouldn't start but the Kashmir crisis might get serious. That are friendly if treated correctly
