Quoted:
The complete Balkanization of our country and dismantling its institutions. They must break the system before they can replace it with their own version (i.e. collectivist tyranny).

How can one replace the entire country with collectivist tyranny if it's balkanized?
See, I think that is a mistaken way to look at it. People think that China or Russia want to conquer the U.S. - and I mean in a "I wish I get a pony for my birthday"-way, they probably do. But that isn't a realistic aspiration for any state. From the rest of the world's perspective, the problem with North America is it has such bad-ass geography: A giant ocean moat. A great internal river network for agriculture and transportation. Awesome deep water shipping ports. Easily defended borders. Lots of natural resources. As long as the United States is unified, they are going to continue to dominate the world because they have a giant, geographical advantage. In order to equal that geographic advantage, you'd have to conquer pretty much an entire continent with the resources of just your section of it - and do it without the United States cutting off your balls while you tried to establish a strategic equivalence with them.
The best and most effective way to deny them that divine gift of geography is to Balkanize the culture and split the North American continent up into a bunch of hostile, mutually suspicious countries just like the rest of the world. You don't need to conquer them. You don't need to make sure your collectivist ideology is the winner or even a contender. All you need to do is break up that fortress by setting parts of the fortress against each other.
I guarantee you, if tomorrow we unfurled the Hammer and Sickle and everyone donned their Chairman Mao outfits, Russia and China would undermineus just as much as they do today. It is about power/influence. Ideology is an incidental means towards that goal. Hell, look at the U.S. - font of democracy - how many non-Democratic regimes have we supported when it extended our influence? How many Islamic regimes did the Soviets prop up and arm even as they were getting slaughtered in Afghanistan?
