The possibility of World War 3 and nuclear war continues to increase as superpowers showcase their strength on the global stage. The United State, Russia, China, and North Korea are the potential key players of an impending global conflict.

Many experts fear that another world war is on the horizon with the threats from North Korea about its missile launches. As a response to the threat of the rogue state, the United States has sent USS Ronald Reagan and the USS Nimitz to the Sea of Japan.

Despite the fleet of warships nearing its territory, North Korea remains firm with the test launches. Pyongyang even boasted recently that it would be a "piece of cake" for North Korea to nuke Japan.

Amid the rising tension in the region, Russia and China are said to have sent a spy ship to the area. Such a move could add more tension to the current conflict.

Another scenario that has been pointed out by experts that could start a World War 3 is the ongoing tension between the U.S. and Russia. Experts believe that the next global conflict would be far away from Syria, where the presence of Russian and American are strongly felt.

The next Ground Zero will likely be Latvia, according to The Sun. According to Professor Paul D Miller of the National Defence University in Washington DC, Putin could instigate an ambiguous militarized crisis in place of conventional troop deployments.

While this scenario is unlikely at the moment, still the fear of an impending World War 3 continues to loom.

Meanwhile, hacktivist group Anonymous has warned people of an impending war. They instructed people to start preparing for World War 3.

"All the signs of a looming war on the Korean peninsula are surfacing as each country moves strategic pieces into place," The Telegraph quoted Anonymous saying.
