Most likely.  Most empires don't last more than 200-300 years, and the
US in the last few years certainly has the same symptoms of a "declining
empire" so I wouldn't bet on it lasting (as a major power) for more than
another 20-75 years (depending on what happens with the next big war).

See Sir John Glubb's "The Fate of Empire"--I can synopsize off list or
on if there's the demand for it.
