It has been clear for millennia that it is possible to determine the origin of a war, it normally occurs because a ruler or a country attacks another, the verbal declaration, such as the war declared by Lenín Moreno and Guillermo Lasso on drug trafficking, as Ronald did Reagan, are the origin of the war on drug trafficking that Ecuador and the United States are now experiencing.

War has been one of the main causes of death among human beings for millennia, and in many countries and places, it has been worse than an environmental catastrophe. This has been experienced firsthand by countries like Japan, which believed that the war was the origin and reason for the existence of that country; Finally, it was worse than the damage caused by the earthquakes, since the atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed more human beings.

When wars start it seems to be a problem that can be solved in a short time, but wars are generally differentiated from earthquakes and tsunamis; It is not yet possible to define when it ends, we see it in the Cold War, between the United States and Russia.

There are wars like the Conquest of America, which lasted centuries, or wars like the War between Spain or Mexico and the United States, which lasted only days.

Ecuador owes its great mortality at this time to two presidents who declared war on Drug Trafficking, called Lenín Moreno and Guillermo Lasso, the two had something in common: they were semi-illiterate, Lenin Moreno a business administrator whom no one knew who he was as a student or as professional, and Guillermo Lasso a high school graduate, but both with good fortune, the first, thanks to the fact that he became close to Rafael Correa, one of the most intelligent presidents, and scholars of the history of Ecuador, and the other thanks to the fact that he was from young, a rogue banker, a white-collar opportunist.

In addition, both of them had a great physical problem with locomotion, Lenín Moreno was a paralytic, and Guillemo Lasso was a semi-paralyzed and cancer patient. In them, the illnesses produced serious mental disorders. They believed that being president of Ecuador would make them better human beings, in a country where anyone can be president, from the richest to the most ignorant, disabled, cunning, and rogue. They thought that being presidents would help them raise their self-esteem, which had collapsed with illnesses. Still, they would also stop being defenseless beings, because they could pay someone to help them move, work, and govern, since by themselves They themselves, physically, were not self-sufficient.

In this country that has become a loot country today, where anyone can be president, which in 190 years of history has had 119 rulers, some only for hours, but which has oil, gold mines, fertile land, rivers, mountains, jungles, and oceans. , the greatest biodiversity on the planet, which for 500 years has been the loot of European conquerors, North American transnationals, governments and rulers of the same country, police, military, bureaucrats, landowners, merchants, bankers, pirates, now it is drug traffickers, corrupt bureaucrats from Ecuador and rogues from around the world. Since 1941, Ecuador has been a war booty of the United States.

In this war those who kill each other are the Ecuadorians, it is a civil war like the Liberal Revolution was, the difference is that in the Liberal Revolution, the confrontation was between the mountain people for the most part, fanatical Catholics, indigenous laborers or servants of the haciendas that did not know what salary was, nor life outside the haciendas, and they fought alongside landowners from the Andes, against the coastal people, mostly Catholics but not practicing, who did not even marry or baptize their numerous children. , which were born from any woman they found in their path; and, day laborers, people who migrated along the coast to go to work anywhere where they were paid a daily wage, that is, an amount of money per day worked, guided by coastal landowners, financed by bankers and exporters, who wanted take over the government of the country.

These coastal semi-nomadic adventurers, many of them criminals, like Pancho Villa, in Mexico, who escaped from a place to avoid the police, their enemies, to whom they swore vengeance, became a large migratory mass, like the Ecuadorians who now migrate to the USA, who were forced to leave their homeland because they were persecuted, either by the law, by their enemies, their creditors, by the debts and by the relatives of those they have killed, etc., etc., Just as Ecuadorian migrants are, who now travel in migratory waves, crossing the Darien Gap or the United States borders as illegal.

At that time, at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century in Ecuador, as in the United States, the most profitable thing was to be a rustler, that is, a horse thief, or to earn, like the gunmen in the USA, later, when the Prohibition to the United States or the Tobacconist to Ecuador, the most profitable thing was to be a smuggler, today without a doubt, the most profitable thing is to be a drug trafficker, a micro-trafficker, a mule, or to be a coyotero, that is, to introduce drugs or people into the United States or Europe. .

But the War of the Liberal Revolution, in Ecuador, was won by the day laborers, the rustlers, the bandits of the coast, and they created a new order in Ecuador throughout the 20th century, until now.

At this time when Ecuador is the war zone of the United States and drug traffickers from all of Latin America and Europe.

  The United States is losing in the War on Drug Trafficking, because the drug traffickers, the polleros, the coyoteros, the illegals, have managed to make the borders of that country permeable, making the borders permeable has been the first symptom of the end of empires throughout the history.

Furthermore, these Latin Americans have managed to gain the morale of the North Americans, since they have turned that country into a country of drug addicts, in which they finance drug traffickers, arms traffickers and human traffickers; Americans are even willing to kill for drugs, that is, to sacrifice the most valuable thing they have, their own lives.

The drug traffickers have managed in the United States, the same as the Christians in Rome, to have within these empires, people who follow them, who finance them, who cover them up.

Ecuador has decided to side with the North American governments, and this country is the one that has turned Ecuador into a violent country, they have turned it into a war field, as they did before with Afghanistan where they also fought and lost the war on drug trafficking, This war turned Afghanistan into the country that was the largest producer of opium in the world, since the Taliban financed its weapons and the war with drugs, as did the FARC, the AUC, the ELN in Colombia, the Contras in Nicaragua, and now they are made by drug traffickers and corrupt people in Ecuador thanks to the money of North American and European drug addicts.

But thanks to the War on Drug Trafficking, the United States now has military bases in Manta, in the Galapagos, it controls 200,000 km2 of Ecuador's territorial sea on the outskirts of the Galapagos, it controls the police, the army, the Prosecutor's Office, the justice system; It is trying to control the prisons, it can deport from Ecuador the people it requests, it can sell weapons, ammunition, exchange them for Russian weapons, it can control the press, the elections, for 7 years it has put presidents in this country, which spends a lot part of its budget in this war, in prisons, in the military, in the police, in justice, just so that the drugs do not reach the drug users of the United States and Europe, but this turns drugs into something more expensive and more requested, in the AMERICAN DREAM OF NARCOS.

This war is making the country even poorer, and just like Haiti or Paraguay, Ecuador is already a narco-state, in all three countries, poverty is the best breeding ground for drug traffickers, hitmen, murderers, extortionists, the traffickers.

Furthermore, this has been possible, because the United States and Europe do not want to legalize cocaine as they did with tobacco, alcohol and recently with marijuana, because when these products were declared illegal, traffickers earned a lot of money for doing something illegal. , selling alcohol, marijuana, now cocaine, amphetamines or opioids.

Selling and trafficking drugs has become the most profitable thing in the world, for those who do not have jobs, factories, wealth, who are now 99 percent of the planet's inhabitants, when wealth is now concentrated in one percent of the population. world.

It is impossible for the United States to win this war, because as long as drugs are illegal, and the North American population thinks that the most important thing in life is to have fun, any person or country that falls into poverty will become the territory of drug traffickers or a drug country. .

Ecuador, which is now involved in this war, which pays for it with deaths, poverty, and uncontrollable violence, this war has led it to be a worse country than Haiti, which was the most violent on the continent, to be one of the most violent in the world. , after decades it was considered an island of peace; in South America, because they did not have guerrilla warfare like Colombia and Peru; Today we have cities like Guayaquil, Durán converted into cities of misery, not only economic misery, but moral misery, or Sanborondón, the neighborhood of the rich.
