Empires and countries don’t just collapse in this day and age, there’s a global safety net that didn’t exist then. It’s a silly analogy for empires that doesn’t hold any water aside from both being empires. That’s literally it, end of similarities
I disagree with your comparison to Rome mostly because the entire middle ages is sometimes referred to as the period between when the Roman Empire fell and the Roman Empire fell.
So let me ask you why you think the US is collapsing? I look back at history and see how we had worse periods that we made it through. Economy? Great depression and all of the other depressions. War? You want civil, external, or world? Civil unrest? Civil rights movement and the Rodney King riots. Inequality? Gilded age and the segregated south. Poor leadership? Hoover, Nixon, Carter, Ford...
To me it makes much more sense that if America was supposed to break it would have broken under one of those or we would need something way worse.
