It is not fire on the other side of the river

Recently I have been watching CNN and BBC news headlines more often, and closely while following key people in the world on twitter. One of the biggest benefits of learning English is that we are able to get as much information as possible in a timely manner. We live in peace and too far from what is happening now. It is important for us to at least see and understand the facts. There is not fire on the other side of the river for us. Depending on the circumstances, our neighbor might take the same action as the country that has been attacking their neighbor. I hope the terrifying situation will come to an end peacefully and as soon as possible.
