i personally think russia, but i dont know much about these kinda things

[Jordy]

North Korea only has an estimated 5 warheads and doesn't currently have the technogly to send them to many places, their current missiles can only reach South Korea and some other neighbours, besides 1 - 6 nuclear missiles against NATOs' combined nuclear warheads (over 2,000) wouldn't be much of a war now, would it. I am talking about near-equal strength, not a rogue state like Iran or North Korea.

EDIT: Ahh yes Jordy I missed out Pakistan, damn it.

Pakistan has the potential to rattle India which could then cause a nuclear war and then all the call centres in Delhi would be gone and then when anyone in the West has a problem with their ISP or bank there won't be anyone on the other end...

May well be true but [North] Vietnam wasn't a particularly strong country either but because they were backed by the USSR it dragged out the war. Iran and North Korea have collaborated together in terms of building Nuclear 'Power' (WEAPONS LULZ). Iran also have been getting away with it far too long and now there's Obama he's just trying to brush it under the carpet, he has no idea what to do as he wants to be a peacemaker but won't accept their 'nuclear' situation either. Iran has also began launching satellites and brings the majority of weapons and rebels into Iraq. Iran also funds rebels in Syria who try to disrupt Israel. And who gives Iran (and also North Korea and Pakistan to a lesser extent) a lot of their power and weapons? Russia.

You will all want our wind and waves when you oil runs out

I don't think so, mainly because wind farms take up stupid amounts of room, also oil will last for another 100 years at least, we have nuclear waiting in the wings and the great thing about nuclear is that not only is it reliable, it lasts for more than 20 years which wind sadly doesn't.

Also on the PROC issue, it may seem friendly now but do remember, over the past few years China have intimidated NATO forces even coming right up in submarines next to US ships. They also say they will take back Taiwan which the US supports.

America isn't NATO/the west. The only reason we'd get started on is because countries like Russia and Korea are mardy and America try and act world police on them.

Nobody says they were? America is part of NATO and 'The West' though.

'Mardy' is local dialect so there's no point expressing the term on the internet and 'Mardy' basically means they get pissed off then they either runaway or become irritating. Yeah because countries can really act like that... Korea isn't even a country... Countries don't 'Start on' each other, wars aren't playground scraps... 'World Police' is a stupid term used by Kennedy which isn't true anymore, America hardly police the world, they try to police bits of it but not all of it.

I thought of including rogue states which I know can easily lead to WW3 but I think if I did that the poll would go on forever. - I wanted to know who out of the major emerging powers people consider the 'rival' so to speak to the US/NATO.

It's true, it's like this:
North Korea or w.e. puts some bomb on a launch pad and makes smoke come out of it
Kim Jong: hey look we can make bombs lol!!
America: we'll intercept it ;l
Kim Jong: nO!!!!!! I'LL NUKE U IF U DO
America: Britain? we have a special relationship ;> you must fight with us

And they do start on each other, especially in the east they taunt each other by blowing stuff up and when Poland was gonna install American shields Russia was like we're gonna kill you.

Are Liechenstein not considerred a threat? Because I think they'd take issue with that.

If world war 3 begins, the entire world will be gone within hours because all the countries that can will shoot off theyre nuclear missiles.
But china for sure, in a cold war situation.
