It is hard to say since the Bible is silent about America's role in the end times. What we do know is that the Anti-Christ will forge a peace treaty between Israel and it's enemies and will protect them, for a time. This seems to indicate that perhaps America is no longer in a position to protect or aid Israel, hence them wanting protection from the Anti-Christ. The final war, Armageddon, is really Jesus coming back with His saints to destroy the enemies of Israel at zero hour. It won't be much of a battle actually.
Here is a little read Bible passage about that day from the prophet Joel:
Joe 3:12 Let the nations be awakened and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat. For there I will sit to judge all the nations all around.
Joe 3:13 Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, go down, for the press is full, the vats overflow, for their wickedness is great.
Joe 3:14 Multitudes, multitudes in valley of decision! For the day of Jehovah is near in the valley of decision.
Joe 3:15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall gather in their light.
Joe 3:16 And Jehovah roars from Zion, and He gives His voice from Jerusalem. And the heavens and the earth quake. But Jehovah is a refuge for His people and a fortress to the sons of Israel.
Joe 3:17 And you shall know that I am Jehovah your God dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain. And Jerusalem shall be a holy thing, and aliens shall no more pass through her.
Joe 3:18 And it shall be in that day, the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the streams of Judah shall flow with waters. And a fountain shall come forth from the house of Jehovah, and it shall water the valley of Shittim.
Joe 3:19 Egypt shall be a ruin, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, from violence done to the sons of Judah, whose innocent blood they poured out in their land.
Joe 3:20 But Judah will dwell forever, and Jerusalem to generation and generation.
Joe 3:21 And I will cleanse their blood which I did not cleanse. And Jehovah is dwelling in Zion.

The USA, is the New babylon. Yes.
America is not found in the Bible. The word “America”, and there is a good reason for that.
Christopher Columbus left Spain and he didn't know where he was going. When he reached America, he didn't know where he was and when he got back to Spain, didn't know where he had been and that's like three-point sermon of some preachers today. God help us - but then Amerigo Vespucci came and the country was named after him, both North and South America. I'm glad we don't have to say, where are you from? - Amerigo. It’s America, but it was named after Vespucci. Now, in Revelation, we don't have a full description. We cannot go by the names of a nation because who knew that Amerigo Vespucci was going to found America, so we have to look for characteristics. Nothing in Isaiah 18, Jeremiah 50:51 and Revelation chapter 18 fit the descriptions and characteristics of Babylon, Iraq. So it's not Iraq. It is the United States of America. Let's give them a few examples.
Four different characteristics that I just gave to you. First, it's going to be a latter day Super Power.
That’s not Iraq. That's America and that's Jeremiah 50, verse 12.
Secondly, a great nation of wealth.
That’s Jeremiah 51, verse 7. In fact, when the wealth is being destroyed in Revelation chapter 18, verse 10, 17 and 19, it says, for in one hour is thy judgment come, for in one hour, so great riches has come to naught and for one hour, is she made desolate.
And a nation performing great space exploitations.
Oh, that's chapter 51 of Jeremiah, verse 53.
And lastly, a nuclear nation.
Jeremiah chapter 51, verses 53 and 58.

No , the reason the USA is not mentioned is (this is fact) Trust me, is the United States of America, is the one nation that is by its creation the one and only one that believes in GOD, for what he is. A true and honest and loving GOD.
Now why do I say this, Because the USA has done some very very bad things in its past, and currently doing some bad things, but we can understand them learn from them and correct them, what nation can say that. We are the Light on the hill.
When we can come together as one Nation Under GOD, believing in honesty, Love, integrity, (all human traits) because we are human we have nothing to fear but fear itself. ( I know that's cliche) but its true.
Be kind and loving, TO everyone! It will come to pass that we can live in peace and be the light for others.

The reason the US isn't mentioned is twofold.
1. The US did not exist when Revelation and Daniel were written
2. Revelation is the story of what was happening 2000 years ago, not a prophecy of the future.

Neither the United States nor Europe will not play major roles in the end times. Why? I have no clue but I don't think its because we self-destruct. I think things will end basically where they began. Completing a circle maybe?

Everyone will be part of armageddon. If you are curious, will have to read the bible, being that is the only place it is really discussed at length. Take care.

the notiobn of world's end has been popular since the early christian days
when it was believed Jesus would [pay the romans back for the evil of their ways. Only fools try to predict the future, if you believe in God at all, then he has made no date available to end the earth.
In fact, he promises not to end the world---the guy who wrote the apocolypse hated the romans and he figured god would punish them in his time.
sorry charlie.
