Modern wars can effect the security of the United Kingdom because these European wars can make a ripple effect across the continent in the terms of the scales of power and the foreign policy for Britain for a long time was to preventing a European Hegemony from happening so not 1 power can control the mainland of Europe threatening the security and safety of our island. understanding the present of war is to learn the past of history and there's examples of these firstly Napoleon and more recently Hitler and Germany and soon if they go through Ukraine, Putin and Russia creating a buffer across eastern Europe and in the best interests of Russia in terms of geography eastern Europe is easy to invade like the past 2 examples of Napoleon and Hitler. So in the best interest of the UK and our European allies is to contain Russia which is why we are funding Ukraine with military aid to continue its fight for Ukraine making this practically a proxy war we indirectly involved in. 

The conflicts threaten the security of the UK when one side wins it changes the balance of power throughout the world yet again Ukraine conflict is a perfect example the eastern breakaway states favouring the eastern powers like Russia and Ukraine favouring and wanting to be more apart of the west like the UK and America. Israel and Palestine is the same case Israel is our allies in the local region and Hamas are allied with Russia and Syria and Iran.

This can threaten the security of the UK when such countries like Russia make indirect threats like flying bombers near our airspace and we have to scramble them.

This could be a threat to Britain because they can also conduct attacks on Britain not just the middle east for example the 2017 Manchester Arena attack and the 2005 7/7 bombings in London the most major attacks in recent decades and the terror campaign of the IRA.

this could be a threat to the UK because if set off it would cause lots of deaths to the people and infrastructure of the UK potentially causing the end of our country and possibly the world.

This could be a threat to the UK because foreign nations could spy on our nation and steal secrets of our nation threatening our national security.

Current example of a instability caused from foreign wars is the war in Ukraine and the echo effects caused by it. Consequentially split Europe in 2 blocks, the pro-western, NATO countries led by Britain and the USA mainly and the pro-eastern countries like Belarus, supporting Russia and Putin and their alternative economic power of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa). With the West backing Ukraine and the others standing by with the invasion.

This could threaten the security of Britain because with the threat to NATO Russia and China poses threaten our position in the international community.

This could be a threat to Britain because sometimes organised crime do fund individuals or other groups like terrorist groups to operate in this country causing a security threat to the UK.

This can be a risk to Britain because it can destabilise the area affected.

They are effective at gaining intelligence which is foreign and with cooperation with foreign and domestic organisations stop and prevent any threats from happening.

These groups are full of fanatics who want to commit harm and terror upon innocent people to put across their ideals and message.

Media can also be used to fear monger the public which can also help these groups in their objectives by spreading fear amongst society. but this can also spread the awareness of these groups making people more weary to these groups and their actions which can lead to more leads to counter terrorism and heightened security.

These attacks have increased throughout the years but due to increased measures of the security services and the UPS the attacks have decreased.

• prevent: to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism

• pursue: to stop terrorist attacks happening

• protect: to strengthen our protection against a terrorist attack

• prepare: to minimise the impact of a terrorist attack

This tries to prevent or minimise any other actions from happening. This have overall decreased the number of terror threats from actually happening.

This is good measure to prevent any terrorists from being released into society without rehabilitation and later committing any future attacks.

This would deem this very effective in its workings as when they get released eventually they'll be a reformed person hopefully and they will not be a security threat no more.

This can be effective because this creates a universal and joint effort against terrorism with the same strategy which works which will hopefully stop terrorism significantly in these countries who signed to join this task force.

• Pursue: to stop terrorist attacks.

• Prevent: to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism.

• Protect: to strengthen our protection against a terrorist attack; and.

• Prepare: where a terrorist attack cannot be stopped, to mitigate the impact of a terrorist attack.

These points to counter terrorism have helped in the preventing and minimising terror attacks from happening or lessening the impact of these attacks from happening.
