Inquisitr — As global tensions reign in the news cycle, many are curious about what the World War 3 roster would like if such a conflict broke out tomorrow. North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) heads of state have all, at least tacitly, supported the United States’ strike on Syria, but outside of each nation’s highest office, there is widespread dissent.
In the upcoming French presidential elections, three of the four frontrunners have expressed a desire to pull out of NATO. Half of those candidates have also publicly condemned the U.S. bombing of Syria, and only one seemed to whole-heartedly support it. Several other NATO members, including Germany, also face elections within the next year that feature candidates who did not support the Syrian strike. Some of those detractors have also expressed a desire to remove themselves from NATO entirely.
Unsurprisingly, Russia and Iran — Syria’s staunchest allies — were against the maneuver, but they were also joined by China, who has tacitly supported the regime through U.N. Security Council votes and indirectly sold it military equipment through Iran, reported The Diplomat. Indonesia expressed concerns that the Trump administration had not acted in accord with international law, but also condemned the chemical weapons attack. Also taking a public position were Latin American socialist nations Venezuela, Bolivia, and Cuba; none of which would be likely to enter World War 3.
