The Generation Context and Relevant Hybrid Operational Aspects
Keywords:
generation; context; action pattern; political approach; duplicitous approachAbstract
As it is well known, the hybrid form is not exactly an absolute novelty. In fact, it constitutes an adaptation, a cosmeticization, we could say, of the effort to promote the interests of world powers on the world map, carried out in a particular way, so as to serve the interests of the aggressor, of the hegemonic power. Thus, deceiving the vigilance of the media, the public opinion, and opinion leaders is entirely desired and turns up as evident, there being possible to use existing loopholes in the principles of international law to simply justify belligerence. The multiple nonkinetic and kinetic effort is skilfully disguised under different explanations (humanitarian aid, support of one's own ethnicity, eradication of terrorism or elimination of fascism, etc.). Therefore, the grounds of disagreement in relations between states will be exploited for the purpose of making justifications in the laboratories of powerful states, with the selection of hybrid patterns customized for each targeted action. Prior to initiating the action of multiple damage to the international victim actor, there will be carefully evaluated the possibilities of achieving the objectives, the desired aims, the critical elements, the centers of gravity and the adversary's vulnerabilities, the success factors – the whole effort being analyzed on several probable scenarios. The quantification of each sequence in the chain of belligerence events makes it possible to produce additions and interventions in the future development of actions, towards the achievement of the strategic goals planned by the decision-making political level.
