If you believe the rule of law and ~general financial stability of the US will persist just keep on investing regularly and ride it out. Markets have a long history of bouncing back and they will keep doing it until they don’t. When/if that happens your retirement dreams might seem quaint compared to the global socioeconomic reality. The people who could sustain the most near term pain are those who have already retired and are living in a fixed income.

If the US collapses, conversely, stock/bond market investing choices won't matter.
And, unfortunately, a sandwich-rich portfolio doesn't really help in the long run either.
And frankly I wouldn't trust my foreign market investments managed by a US company to still be there either.

Also I'm not sure that foreign markets would be that thrilled by a US collapse either, at least not immediately.
