Let's not forget people were writing Rome's obituary when Hannibal was rampaging through Italy, when it had not even come close to reaching its height though. Further, even after Rome itself fell, the Eastern Empire survived for another thousand years.
Though the US doesn't need to go the path of Rome. A decline does not inevitably lead to a collapse after all. It can even be reversed if you get the right people in power at the right time. Of course it's foolish to think the US will last forever, but I think it's rather premature to write it off just yet.
