National defense strategies focus on safeguarding the country from foreign aggression, terrorism, and other external challenges to sovereignty and security. While economic trade and cultural exchange are important, they are not primary objectives of national defense.
Cybersecurity ensures that essential systems like power grids, communication networks, and government databases are protected from cyberattacks, which can cripple a nation's functionality during conflict.
Intelligence gathering provides vital information about potential threats, enemy strategies, and global developments, allowing nations to proactively prepare and neutralize risks.
Deterrence involves showcasing military capabilities to convince potential adversaries that any attack would result in severe consequences, thus preventing conflict.
Counterterrorism efforts involve identifying and addressing the sources of terrorism, such as extremist groups, financial networks, and ideological motivations, to prevent future attacks and maintain security.
