Maybe but also factor in that people have been predicting the downfall of the USA since the 1960s.
Absolutely. In the video, he comments on that . Downfalls can take decades or even centuries of bad decisions.
That is why I doubt there will be a catastrophic fall for decades to come.
The USSR ended in 1991 and the russian federation, while still in a downward spiral, has not fallen yet. If not for the Ukraine was it would likely have continued for a long time.
I think environmental catastrophe might accelerate that timetable
Yes and those people were right. Speaking frankly, it's falling apart. People don't really think of it that way because the Colts are still playing, Taco Bell is open and Taylor Swift is touring. The circus is ever going, but the bread is starting to mold.
Jesus's return tour has been delayed since the year 1000. I don't listen to the doomsayers. While I see the traditional American lifestyle ending there won't be a hard collapse. Cities are already evolving and the rural areas whose conservative values helped cause this mess are dying.
Thoughts and prayers
And look how it went...
Is the USA worse off than in the 1960s?
I'd say so
