Let us say for the sake of argument two things happen in the next 10-20 years..
-Russia, Ukraine, Belarus & co. end up joining the West
-the USA super tech corporations get strong AI and China is years and years behind
If either of those happen then I think the world will come under US dominion in a global Empire that could last a very long time. B....but Rome was an Empire and it collapsed. Yes Rome eventually broke apart but it stood for 1,000 years.
America is much stronger than Rome, because although Rome was great at organization and military it horrifically failed at America's main strength. Creativity with advancing science & technology and the arts. Early on Rome had these spectacular innovations in creating basically what we know today as the modern state. But then for like 600 years Rome made next to no progress in any field. Rome would have been truly unstoppable if it had been advancing science and technology and then conquering barbarians with it.
