The main content of all “net-centric wars” consists of “effects-based operations” (EBO). This is the most important concept in the entire net-centric warfare theory developed in the US. EBO are defined by US specialists as a “combination of actions aimed at forming a specific model of behavior among friends, neutral forces, and enemies during peace, crisis, and war.” (Edward A. Smith, Jr. "Effects based Operations. Applying Network centric Warfare in Peace, Crisis and War", Washington, DC: DoD CCRP, 2002.) EBO’s main result is the establishment of full and absolute control over all parties to the conflict (including armed conflict), and their complete manipulation under all circumstances. Including when the conflict is ongoing, when it is threatening, and when there is peace.
The essence of “net-centric warfare” is that it does not have a beginning or an end, it is being conducted on a permanent basis,
It’s a design for global manipulation and total control on a world scale. That is apparent from the EBO definition.
Today one of the characteristic manifestations of NCW [Net-Centric Warfare] in a globalizing world are “color revolutions”. A Color Revolution (CR) is a net-centric operation whose objective is the removal of existing political regimes in another country. It is based on “non-violent struggle” methods developed by George Sharp in the 1980s (a US product, one of net-centric technologies). The CR concept implies establishing full control over a country and its territory without the use of armed force, if possible. It can be achieved by applying “soft power” which US political scientist Joseph Nye Jr. defines as a state’s (or alliance’s or coalition’s) ability achieve desired international results through persuasion and not suppression, imposition, or compellence, which is characteristic of “hard power.” Soft power achieves its effect by inducing others to adhere to certain international norms of behavior, which leads to the desired outcome without applying compellence.
Color Revolution consequences.
For states and political systems, CRs contain aspects of colonialism. The interests of the target society are not taken into consideration, it is expendable ... The society itself is destabilized, social foundations are undermined, the respect for government disappears, dissatisfaction increases, and economy is in anything but a normal state. These are the ideal conditions to impose Western social models. US enters the country.
In the last 20 years, US and NATO transformed Ukraine into a country hostile to Russia also through the application of net-centric technologies. ... The outcome is the country’s territory passing under US control. ... Being a nuclear weapons state, Russia is considered by the US and NATO one of its main geopolitical adversaries.

Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.), the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, spoke with Bob Schieffer [Face the Nation] on the recent governmental overthrow in Egypt predicting it would spur similar movements throughout the world.
"Madeline Albright, the head of NDI and [I, the] head of IRI" ... "I think that we need to get a transition that really understands that elections are not the answer. We've had election after election in places that have been meaningless. It is the apparatus, it is the modalities, it is the education of voters, it's all of the things that go to a free and fair election. And I think that IRI, NDI, National Endowment for Democracy [NED] who helped the countries behind the Iron Curtain after it fell to move forward with a free and fair election -- we don't want this revolution hijacked by an extremist organization and we've seen examples of both over the last 20 years."

As Americans choose their 44th President, discussions on just who should take the seat of power in the White House have spread far beyond the country itself. Polls conducted in the former Soviet states of the CIS [Wikipedia: Commonwealth of Independent States formed during the dissolution of the Soviet Union] show the people are divided over who they want to take over.
