For Our Land

Venezuela Vs. Colombia 

Colombia and Venezuela are countries that share borders, they are neighbors. As we know Venezuela if facing an economic, social and political crisis due to Maduro’s government. That means that Venezuela isn’t prepared for a war. On the other hand, we have Colombia, which is a country that has better conditions than Venezuela, but it isn’t prepared to face a war either. These two countries have allies: Venezuela’s ally is Russia and Colombia’s ally is U.S.A.

Russia and U.S.A had been avoiding a war since a long time ago and a new investigation proves that they’re not going to war just because  Venezuela and Colombia want to. They will do it just because they want the oil that these countries have, that will mean a huge win for them, so that’s one of the whys they will do it. 

If this war occurs, the countries would be destroyed. They will end up in a HUGE crisis, it would be so bad that these countries can end up belonging to the forth world due to the poverty that the war would leave in these countries.

For me a war between these countries would be a

nonsensical war. They are not prepared for a war. They are in debt with other countries, they don’t have enough money to get into a war.The countries would lose more things than the ones they would win. 

These countries might not be rich in an economical way, but they are rich in many other things; for example, their natural resources that are something surreal. Their fauna and flora are incredible, their forests too, where you can find many animals, flowers, trees etc. Another thing that is unique and these countries have is their people, their culture. Colombian and Venezuelan people are really kind, good, and happy,  who love to help and make good things for their communities, For example, Venezuela is having social issues and Velezuelan people are coming to Colombia, searching for a new opportunity of life and Colombian people are helping them, they’re offering help, they’re being good.

Those things are not easy to find and for me none of these should be lost just because of a stupid war that won’t help anybody, just the countries that all ready to have a lot of power and territory that they will be gaining, so these communities would lose everything just for nothing.
