WW3 fears have been sparked as an expert warns Russia, Iran and North Korea could try to take advantage of the skirmishes between China and India.
Asia expert and author Gordon Chang argued countries could use the clashes between Chinaand India to their advantage, sparking World War 3 fears. During an interview with Express.co.uk, Mr Chang claimed countries like Russia, North Korea, and Iran may use this time period to gain an advantage over the US. He claimed all three nations have started acting in a more volatile way since the China-India skirmishes - as they gamble on the US being preoccupied.
Mr Chang said: "We have got to be concerned that this would also be Russia and the United States.
"The way this could spread is not so much that countries join in with China and India.
"But it is that you have Russia, Iran and North Korea trying to take advantage of this situation and causing trouble elsewhere."
Mr Chang went into greater detail as to how the current crisis between India and China could be exacerbated.
He said: "Them taking advantage of the situation is how this could become a global conflict.
