I totally agree that North Korea is not the primary point, and see the rather somber writing on the walls regarding war. These two oceans do not protect us like the used to do.
However, the fact remains that we currently have the military force and economic capital to be the reigning Super Power, and anyone who questions that status as of 2017 (incompetent President considered) isn't looking at the situation clearly. That being the case, we have no gold plated guarantee to keep this positing forever.
Our Pax-Romana could absolutely end within the foreseeable future.
So what do we do?
Persuade the international community to organize security and R2P at the supranational (probably UN) level that is general, believable and robust.
