The US would be far better off without the dems/liberals, but it would be hard to get rid of them. It is like having a five year old help you change the oil on your car. Most other nations do not have this handicap; it is the greatest threat to the US since its inception and is funded by our enemies.
The main problem with "balkanization" would be that dems/libs would invite Chinese military bases on our borders and rapidly assume the role of an enemy of the US.
But RW extremists plotting to kill those whose ideas they don't like are apparently the RW destiny for 'civilization', eh?
There is already internal opposition to Xi's policies that seemingly are destroying the CCP, 2020 has been an even bigger disaster for the CCP than most other places in the world
And then there's the burning and shredding of documents at the two spy dens (Chinese consulates) shut down in Houston and New York, and some shredding going on In San Fran as well, IIRC.
The Confucious institutes that have been shut down, indoctrinating students into communist theory
Professors and other tenured positions in US Universities all over the country, that have been exposed, some arrested, as being on the CCP's payroll. Providing the Chinese with research done in US schools.
Lot's of other example abound if someone were to do a bit of research on their own, and apply a bit of common sense (that's in short supply, these days) and anybody just might come up with a similar position to mine.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention the Chinese WuMao/Little Pink. A group of people that hang out on social media sites and forums that get paid by the CCP, per post, to defend and promote the Chinese communists whenever someone mentions something negative about the CCP. I hear the WuMao took a big hit to their income earlier this year. Because of economic issues at home, their pay was cut from $.50 cents per post to $.20 cents. That why we see more of them posting these days. Am I Right, Blah, blah? It didn't take you long to jump on my post about the CCP, huh.
No. I'm assuming you mean a conventional invasion here btw.
Russia doesn't need anything we have. Russia does not have the manpower let alone the logistics.
Concerning China? They already have invaded. Just take a look at who owns what.
China invaded, using the US dollar we so willingly supplied them with over the last 25 years. Hell, they even bought their very own US political party, the Democrats.
That's why the CCP endorses the Biden/Harris ticket (It's true). So we can stop all that trade war stuff, and get China back to work, at the expense of the US citizen.
If Conservatives won the war, no. They wouldn’t dare.
If Liberals won the war, no. They wouldn’t have to.
Best post award goes to ^^^ Retroit! Well played.
My take is that the next civil war wont look like the last one, and its already underway.
Why risk your life in a war to get what you want, when you can just move to a new city/state, and get it instead?
That's what is already happening. Unhappy Americans are fleeing places they no longer like, & are moving to palces they feel fits their needs better.
Democrats are fleeing the urban cores, and moving to the burbs, or out of state, to lower tax states, who have more opportunity, lower cost of living, ect..
China might invade Taiwan. Russia might take the Baltic States. I think that's the plan - break down the US so they can take those nearby territories that they want.
Now that I think of it the scenario of China and Russia becoming patron states to a plethora of future American vassal states , may as well be brought up ...
I mean couldn't it be more likely that ( if things continue at their current pace ) we will see a plethora of de facto independent states ( reminiscent of petty fiefdoms ) in the US which will pay homage to Russia or China in a vassal state sort of way ?
Or is that also a very far flung sort of speculation ?

I think mobility is the new civil war.
War is the result of the failure of discourse. When was the last time Americans were able agree on a problem and how to fix it?

Yes, people are on the move, some not so sure where to go yet. Hedging their bets until things cool down a bit probably accounts for the sales surge in RV's.
And have you looked at the resale value of vans lately?

Yes, agreed. They wouldnt attack us directly, they'd advance theri influence regionally instead....like the board game RISK.
