I dunno, force projection has changed so much over the last 150 years that I'm not so sure it's applicable - how many empires have collapsed since the advent of supersonic flight or ICBMs? If the US was gonna actually fall it would be from successfully financializing its entire economy and the whole thing collapsing beyond repair.
The soviet union collapsed just under 30 years ago, and they were only ~60 years old. I think we're lasting more than 6 years but theres still a chance that it all ends some day
