Hybrid Warfare = Conventional Warfare + Soft Power (Special Operations, Diplomacy, Economics, Media)

Simple formula.
Which is as old as military history
That's why the fuss about the terminology makes me grin each time it reaches the media

You rarely go to war without convincing your population, hence you need Media support or campaign
You rarely go to war without weakening first your opponent, through economical strangling hence the Economics part
You rarely go to war without strenghtening your allies ties and trying to cut your opfor from his own allies hence the Diplomacy part
And you rarely go to war without information/spying/risk assessment hence the Special Ops/Spy/Intell part

The only thing that changed recently is the fifth dimension of war : beside Land, Air, Sea and Space, now you have the Cyberspace as a battlefield

Pretty sure that even with star destroyers and AI swarms, we will still have dudes on the ground shooting each other with ranged weapons and even the occasional melee.
 
Ever Consider that the subject is one described of Western Warfare rather than simply one of which Russia is intending or capable of?
