Do you have blinders on too? Don't you not see the initial quote above? They didn't predict the future, the simply projected every possible scenario of possible futures. "Our report is not meant to be an exercise in prediction or crystal ball-gazing. Mindful that there are many possible "futures," we offer a range of possibilities and potential discontinuities, as a way of opening our minds to developments we might otherwise miss. "

Yes they are possibilities, some that are developing, but how do you know they will pan out? He used the report to demonstrate to say America's power has ended, the implication in the language is there.
