Yes. And right now owns the US political system.

Right now Russia is doing everything it can to remove the influence of the US super-power.

If it balkanizes, it doesn't have that gigantic military, and the incentive to control it is reduced.

I'd rather see some states thrive than everyone get sent to the fucking gulag.
