War At Sight

Another Possible War

“What Might Happen To Our Country In Case There Is A War Between Venezuela And Us?

Both countries are very beautiful and different in many ways, both countries have their special essence, both of them have different beauties, such as their large natural resources. The most beautiful places in Colombia, such as Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Río Claro Canyon, Tayrona National Park, Gorgona Island, among others. In Venezuela we also can find very beautiful places such as the world’s highest waterfal called Salto Del Angel, La Gran Sabana, an epitome of a Caribbean beach, and spelunker’s delight, among others. Thess places can be useful and they must be preserved, that's why we shouldn't fight because we are gaming for  the future of our own countries and their citizens.

I think that this problematic will affect obviosly both of them,

'cause they have much to lose, both have beautiful places, most of them are touristic and the people living in the affected countries would suffer a lot of changes, such as the loss of loved ones, food shortages, and lack of natural resources, among other things,  but especially Colombia will be the most affected because we have a peace agreement that we can't break up. Peace needs to be respected.

Firstly, if this event comes to happen, I'm sure, without any doubt, about whom whould be the winner. Even if Venezuela is smaller in size and population compared to Colombia, it has more military well trained forces, thanks to Russia's partnership with it, also reinforced by Cuban allies. The Venezuelan government has been working in their manpower for making them stronger. This military capability would challenge Colombia and might defeat it.

Secondly, Colombia's air force is almost superior, but Venezuela's land force is powerful compared to Colombian  people. As I was saying before, I personally think that the winner would be no one, serioously. Though Venezuela has powerful manpower, they would be overcome very quickly by the Colombian military, aid by USA. They aren't enough people to fight against Colombia. The numbers matter, that's a fact, but both countries will lose a lot.

We also could expect or predict a posible outcome as U.S is the biggest allie in Latin America and they have strong military cooperation. Venezuela on the other hand, is close to China, so they would be a great help for Venezuela. 

Having this knowledge we can infer it would be a total

dissaster. All people fighting for ther rights, trying to find a solution. I personally  think that violence is not a solution for our problems, it would be worse if we stay in silence, but I also think that we have a voice that we colud use for difending ourselves from others. So, no to any intervention in this crisis!
