One of the troubled areas in the world that does not get enough attention is the area that encompasses Venezuela and Colombia. Here, just as Iran vs. Israel/N. Korea vs. S. Korea, are two sides that are back by the U.S. and NATO on one side and Russia and China on the other.
When this world war breaks out, every continent on the world will see conflict on it.
1000 Venezuelan troops sent to border

About 1,000 Venezuelan National Guard soldiers arrived in the border region with Colombia over the weekend.
Venezuela has beefed up its troop presence along the border with Colombia amid heightened tension between the two South American nations.
Caracas has sent about one thousand troops to the border, citing the threat of an armed conflict with Bogota.
"We have a reinforcement of 980 to 1,000 troops for the protection of the border, but there are no unusual operations; we are staying on alert," Reuters quoted Franklin Marquez, a regional commander for the Venezuelan National Guard, as saying on Monday.
On Saturday, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said, "The possibility of armed aggression by Colombia is higher than it has been in a century."
Venezuela broke off diplomatic ties with Colombia on July 22 after Bogota accused Caracas of providing bases for Colombian rebels.
Chavez says the allegation is an excuse for Colombia to launch a US-backed invasion of Venezuela and has threatened to cut off oil supplies to the US if that happens.
