Indonesia is the largest island nation in the world with over 17,504 islands (Kompasiana. com, 2019). Similarly, the population of Indonesia is the fifth largest after China, the United States, Russia, India, and Indonesia, which is about 269.6 million people (BPS, 2019). As a large country provides opportunities for the free trade route due to the many entrances to this country. This condition is a threat to Indonesia due to the opening of entry routes in some areas of Indonesia both by land such as Papua with Papua New Guinea, Malaysia in Kalimantan, and East Nusa Tenggara with East Timor. The sea route also plays an important role as an entrance such as the area along the west coast of Sumatra island, Anambas islands, Batam islands, the northern part of Sulawesi with the Philippines, the northern part of Papua with Solomon and Palau, as well as the southern western part of Papua and Nusa Tenggara with Australia. In addition to land and sea, there have also been open air routes for the nation’s capital and several provinces that have international airports with other countries. The addition of the number of national and foreign airlines entering the territory of Indonesia has provided a lot of movement of passengers and goods to the country. With the immigration process between one nation and another nation has encouraged a very thick cultural exchange between so that there is a process of assimilation. The beginning of transcultural begins with the process of assimilation that occurs the process of absorption of cultural absorption and behavior of both ethnic groups occurs and is known as Global Transcultural (Agussalim, 2020). This cultural assimilation can be a threat and opportunity for the Indonesian nation. On this occasion we will discuss the potential threats that can occur with the existence of some technologies establishments owned by other nations with economic, political, social cultural, and policy interventions of other Countries. Indonesia is a strong country in the spirit of its people as well as its military defense force. So, with a frontal attack through the military will make the opponent think a thousand times? Weakening Indonesia will be done by the enemies of this nation through several more non-traditional war strategies, namely with (1) Cyber warfare (2) Narcotics or Drugs war (3) Chemical weapons war and (4) Biological weapons war. All of us will be explained one by one based on the phenomena of the spread of the covid-19 virus.
Cyber warfare
The question that must often come out of everyone is surely that are we now facing a war in cyberspace, cyber war? If so, then what kind of war is? Until now the most commonly spoken war was the war with data retrieval or sabotage of websites from domestic hackers or foreign hackers. It is a cyber-war that is considered to have been far behind with the cyber problem that is now rampant through social media. The current war is a war with hoaxes that instead becomes an industry developed by several countries or companies, the porn movie industry, the online gaming industry, as well as the application industry that offers a variety of games. Hoax is a negative excess of freedom of speech and opinion on the internet, especially social media and blogs (Herlinda, 2017). Whereas according to Wikipedia in 2017 hoax is an attempt to deceive or trick the reader/listener to believe something, when the creator of the fake news knows the truth of the news. Today’s thriving hoax industry is also widely used in destroying the politics, economy, and government of a country. The occurrence of large demonstrations in a country is triggered by the development of hoax. In the election of the head of state or local government in Indonesia is often done with industry hoax to drop the image of his political opponents in the eyes of the public. Hoax industry is also currently considered to destroy the economy of a nation by spreading false news globally so that it will affect the decline in the level of trust of another nation to the nation. The unity of a nation can be torn apart and broken by hoaxes that are sometimes deliberately blown to divide the state of a nation. Examples with religious issues and social inequalities are incorrect.
The porn movie industry is currently widely developed through internet and social media. Easy access to the area makes it fragile and degraded the moral and mental population of Indonesia, especially among the younger generation. This will make the morality and morality of a nation weak. The amount of news that we are currently with such as rape by a brother to his brother or sister, the rape of a father to his biological son or stepdaughter, the occurrence of fetal disposal everywhere due to pregnancy that occurs out of wedlock and other acts of violence against women. It is an evaluation that this war has succeeded in preventing the generation of a nation full of eastern and religious values. Online gaming is one of the industries developed through cyberspace that creates a huge number of fans. Some cases have found that there is a degree of addiction or addictiveness with such online games even resulting in death. Online games in psychology adversely affect the soul of a child who is not mentally strong in distinguishing the virtual world and the real world. This can be seen by the number of cases of juvenile delinquency such as bullying, brawls; even they become street thugs who sometimes become executioners on the highway. This makes a change in character and behavior towards the child especially if they are in the stage of growth. On the other hand, it will also lead to a decrease in creativity and initiative of a child. Some applications today are offered through the internet and sessional media that is very easy to download by its users such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or Tik-Tok and so on. This industry easily provides opportunities for others to spread negative things so that this can be considered as a war that is currently conducted by one state against another, especially in weakening the moral and social values of a nation. Indonesia as an eastern country has a culture that does not adopt the existence of free sex in people’s social life. Such a thing is taboo and forbidden to do in Indonesia. With the existence of social media and cyberspace on the internet turns out to have a lot of negative impact on the growth and development of youth as the nation’s young generation. The destruction of morality occurs because of the large number of cases of rape everywhere by some teenagers or young adults.
Narcotics war
Indonesia is one of the largest countries in the world with the largest economic growth in Southeast Asia and large natural resources for industrial and defense purposes. Various countries want to control the wealth of this country under the guise of investment.
Chemical warfare
The current chemical war is no longer something that is impossible to happen in various countries. Some packaged food and beverage products are the cause of the emergence of many degenerative diseases in various countries because it contains unhealthy fat levels and also excess sugar products that cannot be tolerated by the body so that stroke, diabetes mellitus appears. The most frightening thing and a scourge for every country is the emergence of cancer that cannot be handled. Cancer arises from cell mutations in the body that are incompatible with the process of mutation and cell division. Growing cells take place progressively and are not significantly controlled. This occurs due to stimulation of carcinogenic materials and continuous exposure. The role of chemistry today continues to be carried out by state countries that have global interests through multi-research to cripple other countries through the export of food and beverage products using nano technology.
Biological warfare
The war has been going on for a long time and has become a terrifying scourge in various countries. The delivery of anthrax specimens to other countries as an example is a camouflage to spread the virus in order to cripple the order and economy of a State. Ebola virus, HIV virus, and lastly SARS cov-2 virus is considered a global biology weapon with varied goals by state or scientists who are not responsible in achieving their goals. Economic and political interests are the main objectives and developed through multi-research by involving pathogenic microorganisms with a very powerful level of virulence. A bad condition that occurs in this world is also influenced by world institutions with the main objectives are the global economy and multi-system politics. The destruction of the economy and civilization to adopt a new culture makes the occurrence of continuous change significant. This makes the paralysis of various global orders. The fragility of a nation’s culture and culture will be very visible as the effect of transcultural politics and the development of health research vehicles for the sake of war in the dark by a country. As the conclusion, it can be said that the ability of research in the world of health is now a tool to change the global world order. Economic development by a country by crippling the economy of another country becomes a trend and issue that is very common in the world. A country’s research capabilities are needed continuously and improved to deal with problems arising from. 76 increasingly advanced and modern global competition.
