National security strategies play a key role in shaping US foreign policy, its directions, approaches, ideology, and practical methods for implementing the tasks set. During the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, several National Security Strategies were developed in Washington. They were the first stage that formalized the US right to unilateral military action to "democratize" and assert "American values" in other regions of the world to eliminate threats to US national interests and its plans for global dominance.
Today, there is no single definition of hybrid wars. In our view, the most complete characteristics of hybrid war are in the following attributes. Hybrid war is cross-border, opens up many "invisible fronts" in the territory of the enemy and affects virtually all aspects of the life of the opposing state - political, social, economic, and spiritual. Hybrid war can be combined, combining classical force (conventional war) and irregular forms (unconventional war). It is aimed at exhausting the enemy to the point of inability to continue resistance. Irregular forms of influence are organized pressure on state power from within through the activities of the "fifth column", "colour revolutions" technologies, extremist, and terrorist movements. The goal of hybrid wars is a country's losing sovereignty, establishing an external control regime, and using all its resources [2].
Thus, hybrid war is a concept that encompasses the whole range of traditional (conventional) and non-traditional (unconventional) US influences on the "unwanted" country.
"Colour revolutions" have as their main goal the overthrow of the existing regime in a particular country, a legitimate regime, without socio-economic transformation of the state in the interests of its people (peoples). The only condition for transformation is its Westernization, "neoliberal modernization," which actually means opening the national market to Western TNCs and TNBs and establishing a regime of external management of political processes. "Colour revolutions" are a set of technological methods that influence the consciousness and behaviour of people to organize artificial mass riots as a tool to change power. "Colour revolutions" are one of the main links in a hybrid war to undermine the sovereignty and political independence of the state - an opponent of the United States.
