Washington: Hacktivist group Anonymous, a global network of hackers, in a chilling new video has urged people across the world to “prepare” for World War 3 as the US and North Korea continue to move “strategic pieces into place” for battle, a media report said.
“All the signs of a looming war on the Korean peninsula are surfacing,” the group says in the six-minute clip, posted on Youtube over the weekend.
Using their signature Guy Fawkes character, the hackers make several claims about recent military movements in the region and alleged warnings made by Japan and South Korea about imminent nuclear attacks from the North as they deliver their frightening war prophecy, The New York Post reported.
“Watching as each country moves strategic pieces into place,” the group says in their notorious robotic voice. “But unlike past world wars, although there will be ground troops, the battle is likely to be fierce, brutal and quick. It will be also be globally devastating, both on environmental and economical levels.”
According to Anonymous, President Donald Trump’s test of the Minuteman 3 intercontinental ballistic missile last week, coupled with a recent warning from Japanese officials to citizens, telling them to make preparations for a possible nuclear attack, are proof that all signs are pointing to a major conflict between the US and North Korea.
China has also reportedly urged its citizens living in North Korea to return home.
“This is a real war with real global consequences,” the group explains. “With three superpowers drawn into the mix, other nations will be coerced into choosing sides, so what do the chess pieces look like so far?”
The group concludes the video with an eerie message for those watching around the world.
“Prepare for what comes next,” they say. “We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget,” the Post report said.
