Intimidation Strategy in Terrorism
Impact of Current Terrorist Strategies On The Usa Interests
Thesis statement; although there are multiple approaches utilized by terrorists, the intimidation strategy has become a common approach over the past 50 years and it has impacted the US interest by creating market uncertainties and fear of investment.
TERRORIST INTIMIDATION STRATEGY
The terrorist intimidation strategy is often short-term and it is linked to increasing the terrorist group influence in the area (Stelmach, 2017).
The approach aims to harm the government to the extent that people will consider joining the army to be risky due to increasing attacks.
The other motive of intimidation strategy is spoiling the alliance of a nation by attacking the aid nation or attacking political leaders (Stelmach, 2017).
INTIMIDATION STRATEGY BETWEEN 1950 AND PRESENT
The bombing of the September 21, 1976 assassination of the former member of the Chilean government by planting a bomb in the car in Washington. The intention was probably to destroy the economic ties between the USA and Chile (Piazza, 2017).
September 11, 2001 attack, by Al-Qaida, focused on destabilizing the US economy by considering it an unsafe place to invest due to increased insecurity (Stelmach, 2017).
IMPACT ON US INTERESTS
The terrorist group tries to intimidate Americans by convincing them that they are stronger hence tourism and investors are discouraged from visiting the nation (Wilkinson, 2019).
Billions of the USA’s capital has been destroyed through terrorist attack hence reducing the economic viability of the country (Martina, 2017).
Another way the USA’s interests for economic progress have been hampered is the diverging of public and private resources away from productive investment and directing them to counter-terrorism measures (Piazza, 2017).
