Is there any data that backs the claim that the US is "protecting" the world's seas? Like a list of incidents where the US navy intervened to protect vs the times other countries intervened?
Without that I suspect "protect" really means "control" the seas. And if that's true - why would one country losing control of the sea mean the end of the world? Also not convinced that that automatically implies any sort of instabillity.
