I must share that Emmanuel Todd, who foresaw the dissolution of the USSR in the 70's has predicted the 'defeat of the west' and the dissolution of NATO after losing the war in Ukraine.

So some "hope".

The suddenness of the USSR's political and economic collapse was atypical. I wouldn't expect the same sudden decline of the USA, especially considering it's occluded nature as an Economic Empire. The fall in power and living standards will probably be just as severe as the USSR, but it will not be as obvious while it's happening.
