The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine is often said to have the potential to lead to World War 3.
Even this threat was conveyed by a senior Ukrainian official to Sky News. The reason is, the US-led defense alliance, NATO, has expressed its stance against Moscow.
The Great Impact of Engaging Nuclear in War
NATO and Russia itself are known to be very powerful countries, and it is even reported that they both own the largest nuclear warheads in the world.
According to Mark Milley, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, nuclear war is a terrible thing. If this happens, there will be many casualties, including from the Russian side.
"If it were released in Ukraine, it would be significant and result in a large number of victims. And you can imagine what it would be like in a congested urban area, along roads and so on. It would be terrible, it would be bad," Milley said.
Asia is heating up too
Not only in Europe, the Asian region has also experienced an increase in escalation in Taiwan and the South China Sea. China is known to still be adamant in fighting over its claim area. In addition, in the South Asian region, India reportedly accidentally threw missiles at Pakistan.
Of course we hope that the tension that is going on can subside soon, so as not to take more victims. If the prediction of war is true, according to the analysis, a number of countries can reportedly be destroyed due to the fighting.
