Is there any particular reason it can't be "all of the above"?
Consider: unrest on this scale and this widespread has to have certain logistical functions. It has to have ideological leadership, it has to have organizational planning, and it has to have funding. Those necessities are the minimum.
Each of the enemy actors mentioned has certain fortes, certain strengths in one or more of those fields.
So, is there some reason that it can't be a concerted effort among all of the above? There is a good chance tht it would take such a massive coordinated effort to bring the US to the ground, and all of those mentioned have a vested interest in doing so.
Warfare, kinetic or otherwise, has a habit of making strange bedfellows when a common foe is identified by each actor and alliances, however temporary, are formed.
Once upon a time, I would have scoffed at Russian interference - they have their own troubles to try to get under control - but when Russia started bumpin' uglies with the CCP, after getting snubbed by the Americans, combined with the American Left having a hard-on for Russia since they threw their communism into the dustbin of history, well then all bets are off regarding Russian involvement now.
