Could the Chinese, though? Probably not. Not with their current or even projected amphibious/sealift capabilities. And not with Japan in the way, either.
So, I'm thinking a gradual collapse of the U.S. federal system after the war goes nuclear, and I'm thinking about an opportunistic land grab by Mexico as well. That should create the degree of chaos in the CONUS that will facilitate gameplay in the States as well.
Any other ideas of how we could plausible mess with the U.S. looking forward about 15 years?

I never saw the new Red Dawn (given how much I loved the first one that shocks me), but maybe there are some ideas there.
In regards to getting foreign troops into the US, every option I can think of involves Mexico
Perhaps Mexico devolves into drug cartel fueled chaos and either the Russians or Chinese somehow convince the Govt that they can provide peacekeepers.
Or maybe the Chinese invest heavily in Mexico and send "guards" to protect their facilities and staff. That at least gives them a foothold in North America.
You could have the drug cartels buy weapons from the Russians (or DPRK) as well.
