can then say that, from the symbolic attack on the Twin Towers in September 2011, began to be repeated year after year, similar phenomena that generated sudden breaks in the foundations of the international system.
With the advent of the XXI century, wars became multidimensional. Any field can become a space capable of fighting, whether physical or virtual. However, they are now the major powers which are stalked, and must meet the challenge of how to solve attacks that arise from the same territory. So far, the military response has not been effective results.
