>>>So, given such hugely lopsided odds it certainly is possible to do something about it.
Would it be bloody? Yes.
Would it be uncomfortable? Yes.
Would it be tragic? Yes.
Would it be useless? Only if we are not fighting on God’s side, but why would God side with those lawless people who want to murder and destroy the freedom of the people — is not God on the side of the oppressed??<<<
I’m not into Bezmenov theory to start with. IMHO, his idea was to sell a story high. As a talented agitprop specialist he reached deep into souls of audience.
Russians has similar conspiracy theory on US project to subvert them known as “Dulles plan”. If they are right it worked on them earlier and better than their own plan for US.
I don’t think there were actual programs to practically takeover each over in either USSR and US. Both KGB and CIA could prop some decadent forces but it couldn’t make that much.
Bezmenov actually mentions features of decomposing societies. Foreign involvement may boost it or not but it is all still features of natural demoralization.
What if there were? But what if it wasn't "each other" who was pulling the strings, but rather the "global elite"-/"new world order"-type... I've heard it said that the New World Order cannot [properly] operate w/ the existence of national superpowers. (And, interesting to note, without at least one other superpower any to focus on [or some goal/"reason to keep moving"] it becomes easy for a superpower to fall into decay/infighting/disrepair -- look at China, it's happened to them several times.)

This is likelier than not -- however, as you note, they really are not mutually exclusive situations.
