No.
Our social spending/welfare/entitlements is going to do that for us.
But the new Cold War with China and semi-resurgent Russia will be expensive and uncomfortable.
Although right now, the main drivers aren't really that ideological. China feels it needs regional Asian/Pacific domination to try and suppress or cover up its internal structural and demographic problems. 1st world Urban/3rd world Rural dichotomy, excess male population, the real-estate bubble, (i.e. whole empty cities,) and artificial suppression of the Yuan, and places like India and eventually even Africa doing to China with cheap labor/manufacturing boom what China did to the West.
I think Putin does have ideas about the glory days of the Soviet Union, and would like to bolt on some more parts to Russia, OTOH I think it's mainly that he's got (or had..) long term approval rating/popularity issues, and war/annexations, or just international crises will cement his base and cause Russians to rally around him in opposition to the outside world.

What remains to be seen is if he needs to
actually try and go after the rest of the Ukraine, Poland, the Baltics, and Finland to keep up approval ratings, or if merely
posturing like he might will be sufficient.
