К. Гайлс заявляет об определенном западном непонимании действий России:
Гибридная война принципиально креативна, она приносит новые варианты действий, и если не быть к ним заранее готовым, реагирование затягивается вплоть до ситуации, когда оно становится невозможным для реализации.

Пропаганда в обычной и гибридной войнах
Гибридная война имеет успех, когда применена против гибридной фазы самого атакуемого государства, когда его институты не функционируют в адекватном режиме. Гибридная война блокирует нужные реакции защиты у атакуемой стороны, а если ей вольно или невольно помогают в этом внутри страны, то ситуация становится еще более сложной.
