Yes, it is a steep, crash-and-burn decline. But I have not forgotten Jeremiah 18:7,8 : "The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, to pull down, and to destroy it, if that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I thought to bring upon it."
Arnaud Bertrand provides a precis of the Washington Post story on the explosive Rand Think Tank report:
"This is explosive stuff. It says, "The United States might be stumbling toward a decline from which few great powers have ever recovered."
"The study describes this decline as “accelerating” and doesn't seem optimistic about recovery: “Recovery from significant long-term national decline is rare and difficult to detect in the historical record. [...] When great powers have slid from a position of preeminence or leadership because of domestic factors, they seldom reversed this trend.”
"What causes the decline? Pretty much everything you'd expect: “military overstretch,” “self-interested and warring elites,” “Addiction to luxury and decadence,” “failure to keep pace with … technological demands,” “ossified” bureaucracy, “loss of civic virtue,” “unsustainable environmental practices”, etc.

Charlie was a hard-working and very talented man, but he worked hard at what? He was a campus evangelist and a podcaster. He had thrown himself into the mission of talking about doctrine and comprehensive worldview with nineteen-year-olds. Doing that, he became such a cultural force that he was shot and killed by the darkness we are up against. And at the memorial service for this campus evangelist, you had the president’s cabinet sitting in the front row, the secretary of state declaring the gospel, the vice-president of the United States walking us through the Nicene Creed, numerous faithful Christians pointing the way to Jesus Christ, the president himself present and speaking, a beautiful widow speaking her beautiful words, and with thousands upon thousands in the stadium, and a hundred million people watching around the globe.

The two weapons were the Covid virus and the Covid vaccine.
A bombshell new peer-reviewed study has dropped a hammer on the official Covid narrative, concluding that both the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the mRNA “vaccines” share “deliberately engineered” features consistent with gain-of-function biological weapons research. The researchers behind the study warn that the mRNA injections have caused “unprecedented levels of morbidity and mortality.” The study’s paper was authored by 11 scientific and legal experts. It was published in the prestigious Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons. You can access the study here:

Yes. 18 U.S. Code § 373: specifically criminalizes the solicitation of a crime of violence.
The law covers actions that "solicit, command, induce, or otherwise endeavor to persuade" someone to commit a felony, with the intent that the other person will use physical force against property or another person.
From the State Department on the 27th:
"Earlier today, Colombian president @petrogustavo stood on a NYC street and urged U.S. soldiers to disobey orders and incite violence.
We will revoke Petro’s visa due to his reckless and incendiary actions."
