    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

      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.
