The Facets of Hybrid and Hot Wars: Law, Economics, Finance, Ideology

The article presents modern legal approaches to defining hybrid warfare, as well as ancient sources that describe the essence of hybrid warfare without using this modern name. It examines what hybrid warfare is today, its external manifestations, goals, methods and achieved results. It is shown that hybrid warfare is characterized by extreme secrecy, the use of all available tools and methods, including law, economics, finance, ideology and all purely military methods of deception, covert operations, implemented in such a way that the enemy does not even understand that a war is being waged against him. Examples of the use of legal instruments are used to show a successful hybrid war operation that ensured a hidden return from the socio-economic formation of socialism to the socio-economic formation of capitalism without a single mention of the concept of capitalism in the legal field. The same process is considered from the financial, economic and ideological side, and ways of secretly and covertly implementing global goals without announcing them are shown, with a shift in emphasis and switching the attention of society from the main processes to secondary ones. It has been established that the enemy’s successful implementation of operations against us to conduct hybrid wars is based on our lack of education, the lack of desire to know our own and world history, the habit of acting only against and in pursuit, but not acting in a preemptive manner.
